THE ART OB' "Preventing &nel ©Urinc£ SKIN DISEASES. The Skin a Coftiplex System of Organs. The large and continuous membrane, called the cutis, or skin, which covers and protects the internal parts of the animal organism, is one of the most interesting organs of the body. » The first changes in the general health, the mental impressions, the feelings of satisfaction or of shame, of love or anger, are manifested in the face by a difference of color, which is produced either by a contraction or a dilatation of the cutaneous blood vessels. Many internal dis- eases can be promptly recognized by the eye of the skillful physician from the color and altera- tions of the skin. The skin is a complex system of many organs, performing the most interesting functions— absorption, transpiration, perspiration, and the delicate sense of touch. With its freshness of color, its smoothness of surface, its appendages. 1 the hair and the nails, it produces the regular appearance of the body and of the physiognomy, makes the ideal, the aesthetic character ; in a word, produces beauty. It therefore merits the most diligent attention and the best care. Its functions of absorption and perspiration must be looked to in order to prevent disease and maintain the organism in health. As an organ of touch, it must be care- fully examined as to its sensitiveness, whether hyperaesthetic or anaesthetic, or whether there be disordered sensations, as in pruritus and many nervous diseases. As an organ of beauty, it must be guarded against eruptions, discolorations, loss of hair, etc., all of which would change the expression and destroy the exterior aspect of the body. THE ANATOMY OF THE SKIN. The skin, as everybody knows, consists of three layers, differing in their anatomical and vital conditions. These layers are called, according to their position, the epidermis, the derma, and the subcutaneous tissue. EPIDERMIS. Prom any part of the surface of the skin a piece of cuticle may be removed without pro- ducing pain or bleeding. This appears as a fine, dry, slightly transparent membrane, and has in its structure neither blood-vessels nor nerves. Under this dry membrane there exists another thin layer, which has a semi-fluid, gela- tinous appearance, similar to plasma. This difference in appearance gives rise to the 2 division of the epidermis into two layers, the first being called stratum corneum, or horny layer, and the second stratum mucosum, or the mucous layer. The cells composing the mucous layer gradually become more superfi- cial, arrange themselves close together, become flattened, lose their fluid contents, and finally are changed into the flat scales forming the horny layer. These flat scales are being con- tinuously lost by washing and rubbing, but are continually replaced by new cells from below in the manner described. Thus the process of waste and repair is carried on in this as in all other organs. The corpus mucosum forms a net work which encloses within its meshes the papillae, and is called the rete mucosum. It is a thin layer of soft, pulpy matter, of a fibrous character and appears to be the seat of the color of the skin, with the hue of which it always coincides. As the cells of the rete mucosum become cnanged into those of the horny layer, they lose their pigment (color) to such an extent that in the negro the cuticle is scarcely brown. DERMA. The derma, corium, or true skin, is the most important part of the integument (covering). It is made up of connective tissue fibres, which are woven together as the fibres of a straw mat. They arise from the sub-cutaneous tissue and proceed in all directions. The corium has different degrees of thickness in various regions of the body, thus it is thicker in the scalp, the trunk than in the face. The skin of a woman is much thinner and softer than that of a man. Numerous blood vessels and nerves enter the meshes of the connective tissue and proceed to the surface of the skin and produce the papilla taolus. The papillae tactus contain the sense of touch. They are elliptical (oval), seldom round, and contain the fibres of the last ramifications of the sensitive nerve ending. The skin has two kinds of glands—sebaceous and sweat glands. The sebaceous glands are to be found in the corium all over the body, except in the palm of the hand and the sole of the foot, and open free upon the epidermis or into the hair follicles, and supply the same with sebum which is an oily substance, which keeps the hair and skin soft and protects them from the sweat. st The sweat glands are long convoluted tubes, situated deep in the corium and subcutaneous tissue, and having long excretory ducts. These glands being 2,800 to the square inch in the palm, and 400 to the square inch in the skin of the back. The function of the glands is to segregate the sweat, which appears upon the surface either in drops or of a general moisture. The sweat is a clear watery fluid, of an acid reaction, turning blue color in red, and contains as its chemical constituents chloride of sodium, sulphates, uric acid (a trace), lactic acid, and the salts of lactic acid and water. SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE. The Textus cellulosus subcutaneous is the lowest layer of the skin, and serves to bind it 4 to the muscies beneath. It is loose in structure, and consists of fascicles of connective tissue, and an abundance of fat. Throughout its meshes are to be found the ramifications of the nerves and of the blood vessels as they come from the tissues beneath. This tissue gives rise to the elasticity of the skin. The fibrous elements are so inter- woven as to produce large meshes which inter- communicate. Among these meshes we find the fat which, in some cases of good nutrition, is from one to two inches in thickness, thus produc- ing a distinct layer. This quantity of fat varies in different individuals. It is increased by abun- dant fatty food, sedentary habits, and freedom from care. No fat is to be found in the subcu- taneous tissue of the nose, eyelid or ear ; whereas it is to be found well developed in the palm of the hand, in the fingers, the sole of the foot, in the gluteal region, in the breast of woman, and in the face. DISEASES OF THE SKIN. Diseases of the skin are very numerous and varied in their character, and all of them more or less impair its beauty, and not a few render it loath- some and their victims unfit for the social society. It is, however, chiefly of those of a mild charac- ter and of the milder forms of others, in which medical aid is seldom sought, and of the removal of their ill effects on the personal appearance, that I shall chiefly refer to here. It would neces- sitate a very large volume, were I to enter into the minutiae of every separate mode of treatment for all diseases of the skin, much as I might wish 5 to do so. This, for lack of time, is at present quite out of the question, but at some future time I intend to prepare a work expressly de- signed to cover the ground neglected in this. The most common forms of skin and scalp diseases which we meet are ; Acne vulgaris, or pimples; acne rosacea, or unnatural redness of the nose and face ; comedones, or black-heads; eczema, or salt rheum; pityriasis, or dandruff ; urticaria, or nettle rash, and erysipelas ; sebor- rhoea, or oily skin ; porrigo, favus or scald head ; alopecia, or falling of the hair ; psoriasis ; acarus folliculorum, or hair eaters. Most people have the idea that when they notice any one suffering from any form of skin trouble, that it is a disease of the blood. The majority of diseases of the skin are not a result of a diseased state of the blood. If the blood were at fault, making the circuit of the body as it does so rapidly, every portion of it would most certainly become involved from contact with the diseased blood. Indigestion is the cause of many diseases of the skin and scalp. ACNE VULGARIS, OR PIMPLES. This is an inflammatory affection of the seba- ceous glands, and of their excretory ducts, usually chronic. According to the time the dis- ease has lasted, more or less pustules will be scattered on the different regions of the face, forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and sometimes on the neck. In some cases the pustules are so close together as to form small abscesses of the skin. When a few pustules are fused together they make a kind of tubercle showing a hard in- 6 filtration under the subcutaneous tissue. In the center of the pustules is a comedo, black-head, which, when suppuration begins, is surrounded with pus. The skin is commonly rough to the touch, and greasy Disorder of the digestion is the principal cause of acne vulgaris. The food must be taken into consideration, as it is well known that buckwheat calls forth, in some delicate persons, a pustular eruption or acne ; and crops of acne follow indis- cretion in diet, as after partaking largely of fruit cake, mince pie, sausage, ice cream, nuts, etc. The regular use of Mellocuti Digest will regu- late the digestive organs, and a free use of Mel- locuti Cream and Soap will expel all impurities from the surface, purify and bring the skin back to a healthy condition. (See General Directions.) COMEDONES, OR BLACKHEADS. Comedo appears as a small elevation in the skin of the size of a pin-head, with a blackish point in the middle. The common name is flesh-worms, or grubs, from the erroneous idea that the small, inspissated plug of altered sebum (suet) which can be expressed from the follicle, is a parasitic worm. The cause of the comedo is in the alteration of the quality of the sebum, which becomes and remains as a hard mass in the duct of the glands, and plugs the meatus (passage); the dust of the air becomes mixed with the fat, and thus makes the black point. Instead of fluid oleine there is an excess of stearine which is hard and non-fluid; as a consequence the glands can not empty themselves of their contents, and are in consequence irritated, swollen and inflamed. 7 Small abscesses resulting are at various depths in the skin filled with pus, most of the pustules the epidermis resists the pressure and the pus is changed into a hard mass in the tissue of the skin. The result is an ugly scar. Disturbances of the digestion are the main cause of comedo, since the food is not changed but only emulsified in the intestines and carried into the general system and a part brought into the sebaceous glands. The supply being too great the glands cannot carry it off. Treatment.—Express all comedones with the finger-nail, or a watch-key, but do not squeeze too many at a time, lest too much irritation be produced. Bathe thoroughly with warm water and Mellocuti Soap and then apply Mellocuti Cream freely. Use the soap freely during the day and the Mellocuti Cream at night, taking Mellocuti Digest after each meal which will regu- late the digestive organs. ACNE ROSACEA, OR UNNATURAL REDNESS. This is another affection of the skin which frequently finds its origin in the habit of drink- ing liquors ; but it is also caused by the food and by the condition of the stomach. The skin of the face appears red with some scattered pus- tules, the capillary blood vessels, in consequence of the stasis, become enlarged and varicose, pro ducing a permanent redness of the affected place. The principal location is the face, beginning on the tip of the nose and spreading thence to the forehead and cheeks, chin and in very rare 8 cases the whole face. The same redness can be caused by the abuse of aromatic substances, strong sauces, Worcestershire sauce, too much mustard, pepper, vinegar, etc. Concerning the treatment of acne rosacea, the diet must first be looked to, avoiding eating or drinking of any- thing which will particularly heat the blood. Mellocuti Digest should be taken after each meal, and washing the face with Mellocuti Soap imme- diately after eating, using Mellocuti Cream free- ly at night, will soon bring the skin back to its natural healthy color. The pustules in acne rosacea must be opened, and the large blood vessels apparent on the skin as red stripes, must be cut through with a small bistouri (a small knife), producing light bleeding and obliteration. ECZEMA, OR SALT RHEUM. There can be no doubt that although eczema is a local disease brought about by local irri- tation of the skin, every dermatologist will con- fess that often he cannot find the true cause of it. It is an acute or chronic inflammatory, non- contagious disease of the skin, and may effect nearly every part of the body. The hands (commonly called salt rheum), the face, ears, arms, the genitals, the navel, the head (known as scald head), the eyelids, the corner of the nose, etc. Eczema is divided into two forms, acute and chronic. The acute form occurs especially in children, which has been lately called infantile eczema, limiting its term to the fifth year of their age. Itching is present in all forms of 9 eczema, and is usually very severe and annoying to the patient. Eczema is characterized at the beginning by redness, papules, vesicles, or pustules with more or less swelling As the disease progresses, crusts are formed and beneath this is a reddened, dry or moist sur- face. There sometimes appear small vesicles which burst and pour out a watery fluid. This dries to a crust, under which the skin is moist, and when they fall off it becomes dry and red, with white scales. Children usually furnish the largest contin gent for eczema and very frequently they are allowed to suffer through the vulgar error of parents, who fear to drive away the eruption lest it go to some other organ. When an infant has eczema during the period of nursing, it is vulgarly called “milk crust,” and the parents feel confident that it will disappear when the child cuts its teeth. When the eczema becomes worse with the accession of a tooth, they call it “ tooth rash,” which will cease when certain teeth are through. In this way many poor children keep their eczema for years without any effort to improve their condition, on account of the prejudice of their parents. In the man- agement of infantile eczema, it is necessary to pay the greatest attention to the diet of the child and the condition of the stomach of the mother. Eczema in persons of riper years, we can say that a majority of cases, traces its origin to dis- turbances of the digestion. In other cases, although the organs of digestion are in good order, there are dietetic errors which retard the assimilation of the nutritious elements. In the earlier stages of eczema it is necessary to lessen the quantity of food, and with light purgatives relieve the stomach and the intestines that they may regain their normal functions. Treatment.—For the digestion, use Mello- cuti Digest according to directions. In acute or infantile eczema, it requires careful treatment, with a considerable judgment. The parts should be bathed in warm water (which has been previously boiled), and Mellocuti Soap. Dry carefully and immediately apply Mellocuti Cream, without friction. If the skin be very tender and sore, spread the Cream on a white linen cloth and lay gently on the affected places. PITYRIASIS, OR DANDRUFF. This is perhaps the most common of all diseases affecting the scalp a7id hair. Dandruff is the name given to branny scales that char- acterize the disease. This branny substance is due to an unhealthy and unusual quantity of sebum which dries upon the scalp and appears as thin scales or crusts. If these crusts are rubbed between the thumb and finger it will be found that they have a greasy feeling. If allowed to go on, some of the symptoms of inflammation will be developed—the subcutan- eous cellular tissues becoming very painful and swollen, the heat and pruritus or itching becomes very troublesome. If the scalp is carefully freed from its adhesive material, it will be found divested of its cuticle. Dandruff is due to a want of tone in the surface of the scalp, and no matter how copious, or of how long standing, may be easily cured after a short time. 11 Treatment.—First remove all tlxe crusts, which is done by saturating them with pure olive oil The oil is applied with a sponge. A flannel cap is then put on and allowed to remain twelve hours or over night. If the crusts are thin, Mellocuti Cream will do instead of the oil. The crusts can then be easily removed with Mellocuti Soap and warm water. A daily use of Mellocuti Cream, Soap and Mellocuti Digest to improve the quality of sebum, will speedily effect a cure. SYCOSIS, OR BARBER’S ITCH. We cannot rightly attribute to shaving any skin disease, with the exception of the trans- portation of the spores (seeds) of a hair worm, which on the epidermis produces that form of skin eruption commonly known as barber’s itch, which. is a form of Herpes tonsurans, due entirely to the development of this parasite on the epidermis. It begins as a small, red, round spot, spreading and healing up in the center, and forming in this way rings on the face. The hairs are affected by the parasites introducing themselves into the follicles of the hair, and there setting up irritation and inflammation. Sycosis Nonparasitaria, or Acne Mentagra, has also been referred to the barber’s itch, but in this case the barber has nothing to do with it. It is characterized by the presence of nodules and pustules, which are perforated by the hair. It is a folliculitis of the beard—an inflammatory affection of the hair follicles—not contagious, and of a chronic course. In sycosis it is neces- saiy to shave every other day, hut in places where there are many pustules it is necessary to remove the hair with shears. By removing with the forceps the hair which has become a foreign body in the follicle, the inflammatory symptoms readily subside. It is proper to understand that before shaving the face, the crusts must be taken ofl! by means of inunctions with oily substances —Mellocuti Cream. The pustules must be opened with a small bistouri (knife) and all the contents discharged. The surface is then washed with Mellocuti Soap and warm water, using for this purpose a soft surgeon’s sponge, afterwards drying with a soft towel. The use of Mellocuti Cream has been found of great benefit in hastening the recovery. ERYSIPELAS. Erysipelas is sometimes referred to as der- matitis, or simple inflammation of the skin; but it belongs to the contagious diseases. It is char- acterized by a rapidly spreading inflammatory process upon the surface of the skin and mucous membranes ; by redness of the surface ; by fever, pain, burning sensations and oedema and swell- ing of the skin. It is preceded usually by loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhoea, joint pains, chill and fever. It begins chiefly at the margin of a wound however slight, suppuration, etc. The cause of erysipelas is a virus which finds lodgement in a broken surface, and sometimes the decomposition of pus in a badly dressed wound. It sometimes will arise from eczema about the nostrils, from syphilis, from lupus vulgaris and from vaccination. Prophylaxis (preventives) is- of especial im- portance in erysipelas , Perfect cleanliness of everything which has to be used about a woun- ded surface, is absolutely essential in preventing erysipelas. Cleanliness and purifying applications are of the greatest importance, for which I recommend Mellocuti Soap and Cream and keeping the affected parts as cool as possible. SEBORRHCEA, OR OILY SKIN. Seborrhcea in all its varieties is very frequent, owing to a hypersecretion of fat in scrofulosis. Children with this disease are subject to seborrhcea capillitii or_ crusta lectea. This very often pro- duces an eczema of the scalp or face, because of the presence of an irritating fatty secretion. A superstition exists among certain classes that this fatty secretion is healthy and must not be disturbed ; hence it is allowed to remain and collect sweat, dust, saline substances, and the result is a hard crust, offensive and irritating to the skin and consequently an eczema which when once begun, tends to spread over the head, face and neck, and even further. The abund- ant supply of sebaceous material also causes comedones, or black-heads, and these in turn produce obstinate eruptions of acne punctata, especially upon the face and shoulders. The cause of this great amount of sebaceous material is owing to a disturbance of the digestive organs. The fatty food is not properly digested, but only emulsified in the intestines and carried in to the general system and a large portion brought into the sebaceous glands. The supply 14 being too great, the glands cannot carry it off. Regulating the digestive organs with Mellocuti Digest, and a free use of Mellocuti Soap and Cream will reduce the quantity and improve the quality of sebum, give tone and strength to the sebaceous gland and produce a beautiful healthy skin. PORRIGO, FAVUS, OR SCALD HEAD. Favus affects the epidermis appendages, the hair and the nails, spreading on the epidermis. The scalp is the most ordinarily affected by favus, and when we have occasion to examine one with this disease, we usually find the head full of yellowish, dirty, dry crusts, resembling sulphur. In a few days the affected portions are covered with white scales, and after a few days small, yellowish, dry crust, like sulphur, of the size of a pin head and in the form of a disk appear, with a hair in the middle. On remov- ing the favus, there remains in the skin a kind of pit where the favus was. The mucous layer of the epidermis bleeds, and has the appearance of a sore. This is only the result of the pressure of the elements of favus upon the epidermic cells, which, when the pressure has been re- moved, dispose themselves normally, and the pit disappears. The favus scutulum (found- ation) remaining on its place, grows always peripherically (around the organ). The favus scutulum grows to a certain point, the yellowish color changes to a dirty white, and after some time on account of scratching and rubbing, it falls off, and on its site there remains a flat depressed atrophic scar, entirely bald, covered with an epidermis in appearance like parch- ment. fU'm.es and Potle'i: THE ART OF FACIAL MASSAGE. The popular idea as to what constitutes Massage is very vague and misty. The word is derived from the Greek masse, (to press softly). The practice of massage upon the human body is very ancient. In some crude form, massage of the body has been practiced from the earliest times by both civilized and savage people. Among the Greeks and Homans the use of massage in various forms was widely patronized by all classes. Athletes and Gladiators submitted to it after their strug- gles, to stroke away and relieve the pain of their bruises as well as for its re-invigorating effects. The treatment was given by ancient physicians, by slaves and by persons who were employed to train and develop athletes. The term “ massage ” in general, is now used to define a series of operations which are best accomplished with the hands, with a hygienic object in view, It is a system of manual therapeutics, the value of which must be seen and experienced to be appreciated. Facial massage differs in many important particulars from massage of the body. If one attempts to try the same treatment on the face which is used in general massage, certain fail- ure will result. The purpose of face massage is to obliterate wrinkles, seams and lines, remove and keep away “ crows’ feet,” moth, tan, pimples, black heads, etc.; to round out the flesh and muscles and improve the expression. The skin of the body is remarkably absorbent; that of the face is essentially different, for it is absorbent to only a very slight degree. The face is constantly exposed to wind, storm and dust, while the body is covered and protected from these elements. The face is exposed to the weather; subjected to variations of temperature, dust, wind and neglect. Perhaps the pores are filled with mineral washes, face powders, dangerous ‘‘face bleaches” and creams, which not only remain unabsorbed on the surface, clog- ging the pores, but contain rank poison. Proper nourish- WHAT IS MASSAGE? 24 meat is not supplied, and a wasting away of the skin flesh and muscles must result in wrinkles and lines.

Next in importance to a beautiful face is a beautiful hand ; and the shape and beauty of the hand depends very much upon the shape, color and proper care of the nails. By inattention to these, the fingers lose the natural tapering form so much admired, and become flat, cubbed or “ talon-like.” Hang-nails and ill-shaped, uneven nails are actual deformities, which mar the symmetry and beauty of the hand. Now the proper care and treatment of the nails is generally neglected for the want of proper appliances, such as are contained in a manicure’s case, viz : Nail File, Nail Emery, Nail Polish, Nail Scissors, and Nail Brush. With these and a box of “Pearl Nail Powder ” and “Ruby Lip,” a lady is quite independent of the manicure. This newly discovered Finger Nail Powder produces a beautiful ruby finish to the nails, as brilliant as diamonds. Full directions for use accom- pany each box.

In response to repeated inquiries from ladies asking, in case of having an oily, rough or red skin, what would be the proper make-up to use—For red or oily skin nothing has ever proved one-half so effective as Mellocuti Soap, and by the aid of Mellocuti Lotion, no lady need complain of a red, rough or oily skin. Voutfafal Tint Liquid fnake«up. "Wash the face and neck with warm water and Mello- cuti Soap, then while the skin is moist apply Youthful Tint Liquid with a wet, soft sponge as per directions on each bottle. We would recommend the “ Brunette Tint,” only where the skin lacks color, then Pink Tint is better. White liquid or powder should only be used on the stage. The Brunette Tint is a natural flesh color, and will purify and brighten the skin and give a charm- ing effect. For tinting the cheeks, chin and lips, we recommend Cherryola. It should be applied true to nature, being particular in blending the outer edges. Then for the cheeks and chin apply a little face powder with a puff; this reduces the color to a natural tint. For the lips, to subdue the superfluous oil, place a clean napkin between, and press the lips. Cherryola is a perfect blood color be- sides being a most delightful application for chapped lips and skin. Rouge de Theatre is a gas-light color and more intended for the theatre. For the eye-brows and grey mixed hair apply “ Mas- caro,” always selecting the shade of, or a shade darker than the natural hair. After it is dry pass a fine tooth comb through the hair. Our Mascaro is not only harm- less, but a tonic for both the skin and hair. paee Poxxtdefl make-ap. Always wash the face and neck with warm water and Mellocuti Soap and before wiping apply Mellocuti Lotion, then pat the skin with a soft towel until dry. For applying the lotion use a soft sponge. Next apply Cherryola as in the liquid make-up, then select your face powder and apply with a puff, then rub it down with a soft chamois skin, (the longer you use the chamois skin without cleaning the better.) The “ Mascaro” is now applied as In the liquid make-up. By the use of Mellocuti Lotion, Violette or Helio- troplne powder, no lady can contract skin disease. The Mellocuti Lotion will hold the powder in place, smooth the skin, and give a charming effect. No gentleman can con- tract barber’s itch when Mellocuti Lotion is applied after shaving. It contains stronger antiseptics and germicide properties than Carbolic Acid, and having no poisonous or irritating ingredients, you must agree with us that it is a charming article, so delicate and harmless we use it on babies. ft Boon to the Theatrical Profession MR.
