Whenever the skin becomes weakened or impaired, as by exposure to extreme heat or cold, 'is oppottltity ii ̂ for the attack of the various germs that cause the different diseases of the skin. They burrow into^hese weak spots a^l+S an inflammation sets up causing in most instances intolerable itching and burning sensations. It quite frequently happen* that these germs will lie dormant and inactive for manv months, and the sufferer eets some resnite from hU awful ? ' ing, but suddenly they become active and again the patient is in the throes ©f their agonizing tortures. Any blotch in the skin which sticks Stubbornly at all should be attended to. However trifling it may seem, if )t lingers long ten chances to one it is a parasitic start, and at any time it may cover your face or body, or both. The most hygienic ./cH Filth is not the cause. and cleanly people • are frequently af­ flicted with skin diseases. Attendants in bath houses and barbers are examples , that soap and water are no protection. When­ ever the skin becomes weakened or impaired, then these parsit^s are like­ ly at any time tq attack, and if con- QitiOA5 a*rp. jyjst wrong, they will thrive ftP.d some fprtn of skin disease will jfesiilt.
