SKIN DISEASES HUMORS IN THE BLOOD • When the blood is pure, fresli and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circu - lation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry off the waste and. refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left to soUr and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acnc, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is'generally on the back, breast, face, anus and legs, though other parts of the bodv may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds; the ccl-l in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on the face in the form of pimples and black heads, while ylaM ff and r to Psoriasis comes in scaly patches on differ cure me until I tried S. S. S.
