Abstract
OBSCURE affections of the skin, of the face of men especially are well known to specialists to be widely spread. They are commonly classed as ekzema, and while causing great discomfort especially at night, show nothing, or almost nothing, to the eye, if the patient be otherwise in pretty good health. Skin specialists frequently ask patients whether they have been using any new sort of soap, but no one seems hitherto to have traced any distinct communication between soap and this troublesome disease.
