LEBANoN. r., sept. Is. Is77.

DEAR SIR-FOr four years / have been
most miserable sufferer from the worst
skin disease ever witnessed by either of
ehe six physicians who attended me dur
Ing that time. 1t made its first appear
Rnce at the wrists, and gradually extend
ed to my arms and shoulders. DIR. j.
Perkins applied a very strong caustic
around my shoulders, 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 |
a particle Of healthy skin could be seen.
1t then passed over the caustic line and /
rapidly spread all over my back. DR.. |
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 ali they could for me, |
but in spite of all their efforts, / grew |
worse and worse all the time; the itching |
and burning was incessant, and l was so |
reduced in 1esh 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 could try
any one else that wished. NV father
then sent for old DR.. Snavely, from Read
ing, who came, examined me, and looked
at me for long time without saying a
word; finally he said he would see me to-
morrow, and left without giving me any
satisfaction. The next day he returned
with DR.. j. G. Morris from Philadelphia,
and DR.. Nolan, also from Reading. They
had long consultation, and then told
me my case was a 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 a month, and Drs. Snavely and No
Ian once or twice 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
Ing out of every pour. My beds would be
made twice day with an oil-cloth under
the sheet to protect the mattress from the
pus. In this condition 1 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 paralyzed
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 / must die. And believe me,
/ was glad to hear him say so. I 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 DR.. 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
the pores were constantly throwing it off.
that all efforts to prevent or stop its form
alton was futile. "We 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 l have no confidence in
patent medicines; but you might try La
eupia, it would do no harm if it did no
good.' Father got half dozen bottles.
commenced on it at once, but the first bot
tie made very little if any impression. ]
then took double doses of the second bot
tie, and began to feel slight change, but
it still went very slowly, and it was moi
until had taken the fourth bottle that
was sure OF any Improvement After
that L slowly but surely continued to i'm.
prove, until l was literally covered with
scabs. But then grew worse again from
the mdeserlbable stiffness of the outer
surface of my bOdy-nOt skin, for had
no skin,-but instead of it a ha-d LAYER oil
soabs. We again sent for our family phv.
sician, Perkins, who ordered me to be
thoroughly creased with lard, which
caused the older scabs to fall off daily
and new ones followed. 1 continued tC
take very large doses of the I.acupia, un.
til the last sore was long since healed =
My skin IS now smooth and clean of al
evidence of disease, except here and thert
pit as of smSll-poX, where l did no
grease enough. L feel well and hardy
but not as strong yet as hope to be afte
awhile.
/ thought l would write you what La
oupia has done for me, and if not too long
you may publish it. think it will go ia
TO counteracting the prejudices so man,
good people have against patent medi
cines. If l had taken it at first, what al
amount of suffering and money spent 70
doctorIng that did me no good, l coul
have saved. If you wish my affidavit, o
that OF any of my family, or friends
write and will send them to YOU. Their
is not physician or minister in Lebanon
but who knows all have written is true
l would say you have the whole CITY O
Lebanon and many of the country peopl
around as witnesses.
Yours truly, LEONARD ZITTzER.

The above proves couclusivelv that La
eupia IS the most potent purifier of tn
blood known to man. Nearly all ski
diseases are caused by impure blood. an
hence 1T is that Lacupia so invariabl
cures all diseases of the skin. We hav
