ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES.

Mr.. W B Sloan-Dcar Sir: hereby certify
that my son Albert, eleven years of age. was
afflicted IN his feet from the time lie first be.
gan to walk, the bottoms of which were COW
cred with hard dry skin, full Of cracks, caus-
ing pain and much affiiction, many times he
was obliged to 60 on his hands and knees, and
no time has he been free from the sore Attic
ton until now. Bafiiing the skill of several
physicians, but to our surprise his feet are now
perfectly smooth; soft and free from cracks:
all from one application of your Ointment. Z
would say the boy put 1T on himself asan eype-
riment of his own. from hearing it recommend
ed. Nothing more was thought of it for three
weeks, at WEIGH time his feet wei e ear a bout
in a healthy state, and arc now the same as
though they never had been otherwise.
Yours, &c. ISAAC PADEN 4
