Though often abundant in childhood, they may disappear in adult life; but when well developed they are permanent, and will recur under certain conditions even when removed by treatment.

A simple method is to paint the spots twice daily with a half per cent, solution of sublimate of mercury in Epirit, stopping as soon as desquamation 13 complete, when skin can bs gooihed with cold cream.—' ifurging Mirror,'
