Cordova, the capital of the western caliphate, became also a great centre of learning and produced several great physicians. Among Avenzoar's discoveries was that of the cause of "itch" a little parasite, "so small that he is hardly visible."
Add to this, that it is probable, that the insects, observed in the pustules of the itch, and in the stools of dysenteric patients, are the consequences, and not the causes of these diseases.
On such occasions, Indians who never saw settlers' cabins without having an itch to burn them, used sometimes to call, and the housewife would have to parley with these savages, "impressing them concerning the rights of property." So here was born Daniel Webster, in Seventeen Hundred Eighty-two, the second child of his mother.
Instructors! Bah! I'm developing an itch for action." "So am I," Larkin agreed. "When we were first sent back from the front, I'll admit I was glad enough to come. I was fed up. But I'm fed up here now. And what can we do about it?" "Well, for one thing I can go to bed," McGee replied yawning. "To-morrow is another day." He began unwinding one of his wrapped puttees.
It is believed 95 per cent of the people suffer at some time, probably much of the time, with some skin disease.

Like the hunter whose hands itch, no sooner he spies a living creature on the top or at the foot of a tree, to kill it, whenever these came to learn of a harmless belief lurking anywhere in fancied security, they felt stirred up to sally forth and demolish it. We had for a short time a tutor of whom this was a pet diversion. Though I was a mere boy, even I could not escape his onslaughts.
"Where are you going, William?" Mrs. MacDermott asked. "To my bed," said Uncle William. Suddenly the itch to write came to John, and he began to rummage among the papers and books on the shelves for writing-paper. "What are you looking for?" his mother enquired. "Paper to write on," he said. "You'll not write one word the night!..." "Ah, quit, ma!" he said.
Then, disdainfully flinging the silver on the desk, he exclaimed, "There, Captain Riga, you may keep your tin! It has been in your purse, and it would give me the itch to retain it. Good morning, sir." "Good morning, young gentlemen; pray, call again," said the captain, coolly bagging the coins. His politeness, while in port, was invincible.
The inferior officers of the settlement, and the non-commissioned officers and privates of the regiment, have been infected with the itch for dealing; and many of the settlers themselves have either disposed of their farms or deserted them, to obtain the means or the leisure to devote themselves to a species of dealing which never failed to turn to good account.
