This most aggravating and tormenting of all skin diseases is caused by an acid condition of
tiie blood, and unless relieved through certain instrumentalities too much
of this acid poison reaches the skin and it becomes red and inflamed. The itching and burning are
almost unbearable, especially when overheated from any cause. The skin seems on tire, sleep or rest is
impossible, the desperate sufferer, regardless of consequences, scratches until strength is exhausted.
This burning, itching humor appears sometimes in little pustules, discharging a sticky fluid, which
forms crusts and scales. Again the skin is dry, hard and fissured, itches intensely, bleeds and scabs over.
This is a painful and stubborn form of the disease.
While Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum and many like troubles are spoken of as diseases of
the skin, they are really blood diseases, because

Mr. Litth john has never before
