THE MEANING OF A RASH

THE MEANING OF A RASH
 To the ancient tribal medicine man a skin rash or eruption, even scabies (the itch) or that due to the irritation and scratching of ped iculosis (body lice) indicated evil spirit, devil or some similar posses sion. Gradually the medieval con- cept of pestilence, disease or poison ous matter being thrown of" was evolved from the primitive medicine mans withcraft. A century or two ago the quacks and nostrum mong- CTS created profitable business eX- plotting popular ignorance and cred ulity with methods of treatments or remedies which purported to purify the blood" Today millions of mor- ons still resort to such blood puri- flying" treatments or remedies when they have any troublesome or un- slightly skin rash.
 There are many diseases or mor- bid conditions in which the blood is more or less poisoned or at any rate surcharged with products of incom- plete or abnormal metabolism or combustion or oxidation or with for eign matter which is more specific ally poisonous. Seldom, however. is there any skin rash or eruption evil dent in these diseases. Even the disease which, vaguely or definitely, comes to mind when blood poison ing" is mentioned, that is. syphilis, although accompanied with mod crate (often unnoticedO rash ill the early weeks, is generally not char acterized by any apparent skin rash after the disease has developed into constitutional disease and the blood is undeniably poisoned.
 Unless you choose to regard hives or acute dermatitiS (eczema) or other allergic reaction as evidence of blood poisoning"-which is as nearly true as the child mind can comprehend the nature of allergy- it is difficult to find a substantial reason for the persisting fallacy. Nor would it matter that the wrong notion clings in the lay mind, were it not for the harm it does.
 In the first place the idea of poi sons being thrown off" or "elimi- mated" by the skin makes the vic- tim more susceptible TO the bland- ishmentS of charlatans who are eager to boil, bake or sweat the poison" out of the simple customer by one means or another. While the simple customer is undergoing these
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-01-20

freak baths or other diver Ing min istrations the diagnosis and proper treatment of his ailment is gener- ally neglected.
 In the next place, the notion that skin rashes or eruptions or "break- ings out" are due to impure blood or to poison ill the blood is the cause of a good deal of rlnhappiness for young persons who happen to have more or less of the virtually physiological acne or blackheads and pimples of youth. The mali cious inference drawn from this is that such innocent pimples are somehow an indication of immor- ality, which of course is cruelty false. Skin trouble is in fact no more an index of character than is headache or neuritis.

 An example is Spencer Chart CTS, who plays the austere judge in the new comedy, "Joy of Lov- ing" starring Irene Dunne and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.
 The Judge" was very late to the studio the other morning. He shamefacedly explained that he had been pinched for speeding.
 In a different, happier situation is Robert Emmett OConnor, vet eran character actor who many times has played the role of cap tain and inspector of police and detectives.
 Indeed, he is so firmly typed
 as a police official in the pulp

 geles cops when they see him,
 salute smartly.
 O'Connor is chuckling now be- cause, on the way to work at Re- public, in The Great Hollywood Murder Mystery a traffic officer Jagged him down, then apologized profusely and hoped nothing would be said about the incident at head quarters. The actor assured him nothing would.

 To facilitate the tearing, ward- robe seamStresses took coat to pieces, skin by skin, and then basteo it together again with weak thread. But in spite of that, the skins were ripped to shreds.

Enjoy Blooming Plants Throughout the Winter
Care of These Favorites Is Easy

Care of These FavOrites Is Easy
 Your gay scarlet poinsettia and Christmas cactus dripping with rosy blossoms! A little care will keep them lovely for weeks, persuade them to bloom again next year.
 Both need warmth and are senSi- tive to sudden temperature changes. Your living-room temperature-70 degrees-is about right.
 Water frequently. Soil should be always moist, but never wet and soggy. Give the poinsettia a drink at room temperature twice a day if necessary.
 Both plants like moisture in the air, too. Keep a dish of water nearby. But never set your poin- settia in a saucer of water. Like the cat, it abhors wet feet.
 Tiny poinSettias need to be cod dled. They'll thrive-and look charming-in fruit-jar terrarium.
 Our 32-page booklet gives valu- able pointers on the winter care of all your favorite house plants graceful ferns, fragrant bulbs, vines and foliage plants for brackets, window boxes. How to avoid plant pests.

 Gleason was so tired and strug- gled so realistically for the cam era that when he reached Miss Dunbar's side he couldn't lift her. Ugly Mugs Are Assets
 Makeup men don't deal exclusive ly in beauty. At Warmers, where Robin Hood" is nearing completion, a big crew has been busy painting cust, bruises and bloodstains on scores of fighting extras and prin- cipals.

 An ugly mug or some physical affliction often is an asset in the flicker business. When a prize fighter gets beaten past recogni- tion he's generally sure of fair living in the movies.

Paris, Jan. 20-The 45 gowns and coats included in the $25,000 trous- seau of beautiful Farida zulficar certainly ought to please her young husband, King Farouk of Egypt, to whom she was married today. He selected the wardrobe himself.
 The wedding dress comes from the house of Worth, the tradi- tional dressmaker of queens. For this the king chose silver lace, made over satin, with a court train of silver lame eight yards long swung from the shoulders. The veil is of closely shirred tulle, encrusted and edged with the sil- yer lace of the dress.
