This remedy is the greatest blood puri-
fer known to medical science.


LEAR or IOllE wears i nave Dee0
a most miserable sufferer from the worst
skin disease ever witnessed by either of
the six physicians who attended me dur
ing that time. 1t made its first appear
ance at the wrists, and gradually extend
ed to my arms and shoulders. DR.. J.
Perkins applied very strong caustlc
around my shoulders, a half an inch
broad, to keep the disease from my body,
which it did for about six weeks; by that
time my arms became perfectly raw; not |
particle of healthy skin could be seen. |
1t then passed over the caustic line and |
rapidly spread all over my back. DIR. |
Parker was then called in for cOnsulta- |
ton. Both acknowledged they had never |
seen nor read Of anything like it, but
said they would do all they could for me,
but in spite of all their efforts, / grew
worse and worse all the time; the itching
and burning was ineessant, and | was so
reduced in flesh and strength that had
TO be lifted bodily from one bed to the
other.
The doctors finally told me they had
done all they could, and that 1 could try
any one else that l wished. My father
then sent for old DR.. Snavely, from Read
ing, who came, examined me, and looked
at me for a long time without saying
word; finally he said he would see me to-
morrow, and left without giving me any
satisfaction. The next day he returned
with DIR. J. @. Morris from Philadelphia,
and DIR. Nolan, also from Reading. They
had long consultation, and then told
me my case was n very bad one, the worst
they had ever seen, but that they would
do for me what they could, and hoped
finally to save my life. DR.. Morris came
once month, and Drs. Snavely and No
Ian once or twice a week. In spite of all
they could do the disease kept on spread
Ing, until my whole body was one mass
of raw flesh, and the matter almost pour

made twice day with an oil-clOth under
the sheet to protect the mattress from the
pus. In this condition laid for months
and months; the matter or pus was
formed by the sores or rather flesh, as |
was one sore almost all over, except part
of my face and scalp, so that in the course
of twelve hours l would almost swim in
the matter. Finally become paraIyzed
from my hips down, and my legs were
almost as cold as ice. DR.. Snavely then
told me there was no use in trying any
longer, that l must die. And believe me,
I was glad to hear him say so. 1 would
have gladly died that minute, had it been
Gods will. Day after day l was looked
for to die. All hope had vanished. One
day my father met DIR. Snavely, when he
asked him what the cause was of this
terrible disease. The Doctor answered it
was impure blood; that the blood was so
heavily laden with morbid matter that
bll6 DOEG5 were constantly throwing IL u.
but that it was formed so fast in the blood
chat all efforts to prevent or stop its form
alton was futile. ssWe have tried all the
cleansing medicines known to the Phar-
mecopoea," added the Doctor. They had
already separated, when my father called
after him and asked whether there was
not something he could suggest to give
me some relief while in my misery. Yes,
he said, There are many blood purifiers
advertised, but i have no confidence in
patent medicines; but you might try La
cupia, it would do no harm if IL did nc

then took double doses of the second bot

1t still went very slowly, and it was moi
until / had taken the fourth bottle that
was sure of any improvement. After
that slowly but surely continued to i'm

the indescribable stiffness of the outel
surface of my body-not skin, for haC
no skin, n,-but instead of it a hard layer o
scabs. We again sent for our family ply

caused the older scabs to fall off daily

The above proves conclusively that L,
cupia IS the most potent purifier of til
blood known to man. Nearly all ski
diseases are caused by impure blood, an
hence it is that Lacupia so invariab
cures all diseases of the skin. We hay
