HUM0R OF THE FACE
and Head cured-A terrible Case.

MEssRs. WEEKS & POTTER: GentEemen,-To cay

ieehngs, but 1t is the best word can use, for /
feel II IN every sense of the word l have been q
great sufferer with skin diseases for the last twelve
Cl2) years. My head and face being covered with
sores, could not rest with the burning heat and
itching OF the parts affected and was Confined to
my house for weeks at a time. Ny disease has
Oeen called Eczema, OF most aggravated type by
many physicians, but doubt if ever fully under

nation of several skin humors. 1 have spent
much money seeking cure, and in 1857 went TO
Europe and consulted some of the best physicians
in London. received temporary relief only, for
in the spring it would break out as bad as ever.
When / came back 20 Boston, Twas told by many

cure of those diseases was of the highest order)

months and can safely say,without any improve

edies, besides all the external ap pcations have
used, but the effect was the same. / became salts
ned tina could not be cured, but might be kept
from getting worse.
Now, about three months ago, Mr.. Meehan,
gentleman well known to Boston people, called
my attention to your CUTIcURA, and promised
wonderful results If | would only make trial.
He told me of his own experience with it, and so
persevered on me that went with him 10 drug
and some Soap, and commenced to use it accord
ing to the directions. There was so much humor
lodged within the skin, that as soon as COM
menced the use of CUTICURA it came to the sur
face and festered, until vast qusntties had come
ont and greatly intensified my sufferngs for about
two weeks. But did not mind this, as felt that
was going to get rid OF the humor when saw it
coming TO the surface 10 such large quantities.
After the first two three weeks of this rem
edy, | was greatly encouraged by gradual lee
sening OF the Inflammation of a number of painful
sores. carefully, faithfully and cheerfully fol-
lowed the directions to the letter, feeling each
week nearer a cure, until at the. present moment,
after three months use of CUTCURA, and twelve
years of as constant suffering endured,
can say that am cured, and pronounce my case
the most remarkable on record | have been so
elated with my success that have stopped men on
the street who afflicted, and told Them TO get
the CUTIoURA and it would cure them. This is
why am grateful to you, for believe 1t to be
the best and greatest discovery Of the age and that
it Will cure all who suffering with these dis
eases. l may add that took no internal medicine
but the CUTIcURA REsoLvENT.
