Fometimes, especially in the hands and knees, the itching is so entirely that the disease may exist for a long time <without the patiert payâ€" ing any attention to it. There is selâ€" com any pain. I am speaking about psoriasis, the skin affection with flat dry patches, covered with white, silver gray or asâ€" bestorâ€"like scalecs. "There is no oozing and hence no crusts; the amount of scaliness varies from a thin film to dense, heapedâ€"up mass. On removing the scales a smooth, shining red surâ€" face is exposed dotled here and there with deep red spots. These spots bleed €asily when touched. The scales are a cirty white colour on the surface, but those underneath the uppermost layâ€" ere rRhave the appearance of frosted silâ€" So important is psoriasis in relation to the happiness of the individual, his family and friends that at the last meeting of the British Medical Assoâ€" ciation, Dr. R. M. B. MacKerna, Honâ€" orary Dermatologist, Royal Southern Hospital, Liverpool, in speaking of preâ€" ventive measures in skin disceases deâ€" voted most of his address to psoriasis. fat food (that is, too much fat food fcr the jpsoriatic patient) aggravates psoriasis or may bring on the eruption. Experiments show that the digestive ard cther body processes in patients with psoriasis do not handle fat as well as do the body processes of normal or individuals free of the psoriasis tenâ€" dency. So, notwithstanding that the disease usually causes no pain, and only a slight amount of itching, you can unâ€" cerstand why these patierts are so greatly: embarrassed by these dirty white patches on the skin. This disease initerferes with business and social progress. "As psoriasis or the tendency to pscriasis is so often inherited I have known of not a few instances where vomen have ‘ deliberately refrained from having children lest their chilâ€" dren should be affected with the disâ€" ease." Dr. MacKenna agrees with research physicians who stated that too much Another faet brought out was that it was observed that an Englishman suffering with psoriasis was likely to be free of it when he visited the troâ€" pics, showing that the skin with a tenâ€" aercy to pscriasis needed plenty of sun if it were to be kept free from psoriaâ€" Thus the regular exposure of the skin to ultraâ€"violet rays often prevents a return of the ailment.

Most auâ€" thorities agrese that eight glasses of liquid is what the body requires and fruit juices, vegetables, composed chiefly of water, soups, coffee, tea and milk may be called upon to supply some of the fluid content; but they skould not be allowed to take the place of water entirely.

So let‘s talk about beauty and how water enters the picture. Bear in mind that the body is comâ€" posed of a multitude of cells of whicn the chief constituent is water.

The keep the fluid leve! of the body. Durâ€" ing the winter we perspire less, which crdirarily would mean that the water loss is less. However, water loss is govâ€" erned by humidity more than by temâ€" perature. In artificially heated homes the air is usually very dry and a lot of vwater is lost as a result. Therefore we should continue to drink water during the winter months. What if we don‘t? Dry skin, chapped lips, lustreless hair and eyss result. What if we do "drink plenty of water?" Ah, there‘s the beauty of it. I quote from rotes made during a lecture by a physician a few years ago: "Water has a sparkle, clear, beautiâ€" fulâ€"and the woman who drinks a lot of water usually boasts a thin, transâ€" parent, beautiful skin with the clarity cf water about it.
