SKIN DISEASES HUMORS IN THE BLOOD When the blood is pure, fresh nnd healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth and free from blemishes, but when some acid ltumor 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 nn inactive or sluggish condition ot 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, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds, Eczema appears, usually with a slight redness ot the skin followed by pustules from which there flows n sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other porta of the body may lc niTcctcd. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks nnd bleeds; the acid in tho blood dries up the nnturr.l oils ot the skin, which are intended to keep it soft and pliant, causing n dry, feverish condition and giving it a hard, leathery appearance.
