The common chronic skin diseases are of tbree classes : First, those that cause pustules ; second, tb ose that cause scaly or branny skin ; third, those that cause pimples. The first, or pustular skin diseases, can be easily recognized, as tbey always produce pus (or matter as it is often called).Large, yellow j)ustules, boils, carbuncles, skin ulcers, syphilitic skin diseases, buboes and chancers, are common examples of the pustular variety of skin diseases. Those who are'subject to boils, tore lips, styes or red eyelids, running at the ears, are of the same class, and are cured by the same treatment. Itreatagreat number of this class of skin affections every year and I invariably prescribe La-cu-pi-a. La-cu-pi-a can be depended on every time,'and no other medicine is frequired, except when the bowels are constipated wlïen Man-a-lin should be used also. The scaly (Squamous) skin'affections include salt rheum (eczema), scald head, cracked lips, and chapped hands, and they all indícate a bad condition of thejblood. [La-cupi-a, the greatest constitutional remedy I have ever known, strikes at the root of this class of affections by purifying the blood and cleansing the whole system. That most stubborn affection of scald head in babies I have never known La-cupi-a to fail to cure. It can be relied upon to permanently cure all skin diseases due to blood contaminations or constitutional taints. It greatly assists and hastens the action of La-cu-pi-a to keep the bowels regular by using some good laxative. The one I have found to be the most reliable is Man-a-lin, which works eplendidly with Lacu-pi-a. ïhe third class of skin affections, or those that produce pimples, include some very common, every day annoyances. Hives and prickly heat are examples of the more acute variety of pimpular skin diseases. There are many people who have red pimples on the face, between the shoulders and on the shoulder blades, which are worse at times than oihers, but are always a great disfigurement and source of discomfort. Another quite comraon trouble, especially ofyoung people of both sexes, is the appearance of pimples on the face which contain a cheesy substance, and when forced out has a close resemblance to a small worm or grub which many people really supposé them to be. These are often black at the end, which makes them doubly unsightly additions to the youthful complexion. This class oí pimples are calieü by the medcal works "acné punctata," and, disgusting as it is to be a victim of it, yet it is worse to have to endure another too common variety, called "acrie rosacca." No one can mistake it for any other affection, as it thickens and reddens the nose, and sometimes the cheeks also. Because of the frequency in which intemperate habits has been the cause of this form of acné, it has often been called "rum blossom," but many people of températe habits are so aillicted. Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin are the remedies that will not disappoint any one who will give thein a fair trial. This class of skin troubles are all dependent on sluggishnets of the excretory ducts, especia 11 v those of the skin. Pe-ru-na liastens the expulsión from the system of all effete matter, vvhich, if allo wed to clog up the millionsof tiny ducts of the skin, will produce pimples. Pe-ru-na will produce a eleftr complexion and smooth skin. Many young people about the age of puberty are anxiously tryinj{ every remedy which is reputed to remove the annoying pimples so common to that age, but rarely find any relief. I feel sure that Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin will never disappoint any such person by any reasonable use of it - the Man-a-lin to be taken in Bufficient doses to slightly stimulate the action of the bowels, and Pe-ru-na taken exactly as directed on the bottle. I should not be doing them justice if I spoke less positive language, for years of experience with them has taught me that there are practical lyno failures.
