HEALED OF A HEREDITARY CONDITION

Lynn Gray Jackson

As a child I was often told of a relative who had a peculiar rash. The story described what this relative did about it, and how it disturbed her. There was much fearfulness and mystery in these accounts of the malady.

I thought little about this condition, however, until the day I found this peculiar rash on my body in the same location where my relative experienced it years before.
