Their Cause and Cure.
(Extract from a lecture given ty Mr.
J. J. McHugh, M.P.S., Ph.C., the wellknown skin and scalp specialist).
“A fungus peculiar to the tropical regions is responsible for many skin diseases, the most widespread of which is Tinea, commonly known as tropical ringworm. This disease usually first attacks hands and feet, but may spread to other parts of the body. It often produces an unbearable itch and un sightly skin conditions.
“Correct treatment in any stage not only relieves the sufferer, but can pre vent trouble recurring, but if allowed to develop unchecked Tinea becomes a serious menace to skin health.”
During the past 10 years Mr. McHugh has cured an amazing number of cases thought hopeless. His secret formula and special diagnosis treat ment have brought him fame in cur ing Eczema, Psoriasis, Varicose Veins, Tropical Ringworm, Acne, Pruritis, Seborrhoea (scalp disease), and other distressing complaints when other methods have failed.
