Juice of lemons, mixed with sugar and borax finely powdered and digested for eight days, frequently remove them. Homberg also recommends bullock's gall, mixed with alum, and after the alum has precipitated, exposed three or four months to the sun in a close phial. Of the nitiligo, or morphew, Sauvages enumerates four, and of the ephelis, six species. No-sologia Methodica, vol. i. p. 127,
