There was not one square inch of skin on his whole body that was not affected. Ile was one mass of sores. The bandages used to stick to his skin and in removing them it used to take the skin off with them, and the screams from the poor child were heartbreaking.

His skin peeled off twenty times, but it finally yielded to the treatment.
