    Jacksons Improvements in Protective Coverings to be used in Cutaneous Diseases. Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of my said Invention, and the manner in which the same is or may be used or carried into effect, I may observe, in conclusion, that I do not confine or restrict myself to the precise details or arrangements which I have had occasion to describe or refer to, as many variations may be made therefrom without 5 deviating from the principles or main features of my Invention; but what I consid to be novel and original, and therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the herein-before in part recited Letters Patent, is,— First, the system or mode of treating variola, or small-pox, or other cutaneous diseases of a like character, in which the affected parts are protected 10 from the influence of the atmosphere by means of hoods or other protective coverings, as herein-before described. Second, the system or mode of arranging and making hoods or other cover¬ ings for the purpose of protecting the faces, hands, or other usually exposed parts of persons suffering from small-pox or other severe cutaneous diseases, 15 as herein-before described. Third, the system or mode of preventing the injurious effects of air and light upon the face, hands, or other exposed parts of the human body during the continuous of eruptive diseases by covering or enclosing such parts with hoods, coverings, or other protective envelopes, as herein-before described. go In witness whereof, I, the said Hobert Jackson, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Twenty-sixth day of January, One thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight.
