Lupus E-ythema;oszs.

Specifically. lupus erythematosus
resembles ordinary Jumps. or lupus
yulgaris. II is said to De a form of tu-
berculosis Of the skin, caused by poi
son IN the blood excreated by tubercle
bacil!i in the lungs or in any other part
Of the boy. Though Iopus erythema-
tosus may affect parts Of the body other
.Lsn he face,-the ears the scalp or
the fingers, for example.-it usually
appears on the cheeks and on the bridge
Of the nose. The disease afficts wo-
men about twice as often as it affects
men. Women are most liable to il
when they are between thirty and fifty
years old, though il may occur at any
age. II attacks most frequently per-
sons. whose circulation is poor and who
are more or less anaemic.
The eruption begins with one or two
rather prominent reddish nodules, which
are the size of pea or smaller. and
which are covered with small yellowish
or whitish scales. Gradually new nod

increase in size and caolesce into
patches of varying size. The patches
spread at the edges, but quiet down in
the centre, where they take on whitish
scarlike surface.
On rare Occasions the disease cures
itself; but usually il goes slowly on.
II does not greatly affect the patients
health. Although il resists treat
ment, it is not beyond cure. If the stuff
erer be careful in his diet and avoid
stimulants, he will often find himself
greatly helped. He should live much
in the open air but should protect his
face both from cold winds and from
summer sun. He will find that soothing
ointments and lotions applied to the
eruptions are often beneficial.
Carbonic-acid snow. liquid air. the
rays, radium and the Finsen light
have all been used in healing the d.
sease, but miIder remedies have usually
given more satisfactory results. OF
course a physician should direct the
treatment; if the patient attempts to
prescribe his own remedies, he NAV
work irreparable injury and make a
cure impossible.

HOSPITAL REPORT IS
SAID TO BE EXAGGERATED

Washington, Aug. 23.-Reports of
conditions at the Johnson City, Tenn.
sanitorium for disabled war veterans
in many instances have been "grossly
exaggerated" Charles M. Pearsall. in
spcctor general for the National Home
for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. has
reported to the board of managers
under whose auspices the sanitorium
is operated.
Mr.. Pearsalls report of personal
investigation, made public today by
Representative Anthony, Republican
OF Kansas, said "thcre was a strong
feeling and resentment by the men be-
cause of the abuse which had been
placed on the sanitorium as a whole,
which would indicate to their fam
lilies that every man there was either
drinking, taking drugs or running
around with prostitutes.
The men admitted" the report
continued, that small number of
the men would get drunk, or drink
disregard their rest hours and treat
ment, that there were a few drug adj
diets who were being treated in the
hospital and that some of the men
were associating with prostitutes, but
stated that it was very small per-
centage and they felt that they should
not be Inundated by being classed
with this small number of men, nc
larger in percentage than would be
found in other hospitals or of a like
number in civil life. The further nv
investigation led and the more con-
tact l got with the men thoroughly
convinced me that the men had the
right picture of conditions.
general stated, that developed in con.
nectlon with his investigation was
that number of men when closely
questioned admitted that thew had
been in. other government hospitals
and had been dismissed for disci.
plinary reasons and were later sent tc
Johnson City by these hospitals dis.
charging them" Great care has beer
exercised, the report said, not to dis
mss from the sanitorium for disci
primary reasons any man whose life O,
cure might be jeopardized by depriv
ing him of treatment.
The Inspector general reported tn,
food at the sanitorum was "most OK.

quality, variety and service"
