Messrs. WEEKS & POTTER: Gent1emen,-I cannot
refrain from adding my debt of gratitude to Won
for having placed within my reacn the wonderful
CUTICURA REMEDIES, which have rendered unne-
cessary all further experiment of physicians, and
in remarkably short space of time have rid me of
loathsome disease dispensed with all physi-
clans two years ago, believing they did no good
The CUrIoURA, has stopped this unsatisfactory ex-
penseeYen II 1t We're necessary and had the cour-
age any longer to follow their advice-and bought
the long-looked-for cure and happiness.
i have been afflicted with Eczema or Salt Rheum
on my scalp, breast and limbs for five years. DUR
ing which time have been under the treatment of
physicians or at mineral springs, taking some kind
OF medicine. have been treated by Drs. - of

springs and taken number of patent medicines, all
without the faintest approach to a cure.

was Immediately successful in my case, entirely
curing me. / have not had clean scalp for Is
years until the of the CUT1cURA entirely healed

of my body were affected in a more aggravated
form, but are now completely healed. / believe
myself completely cured. l shall continue the

A WONDERFUL MEDICINE


NCTC1HCdt6 u q 4 TOfI1A1kcuL SIb1Zeil
of Adrian, Mich, who had not
Walked without Clutches for
two years. He threw them away
5n "a Hours after the first ap-
pIication of Wizard Oil.
DR.. HAMLIN:-When I met your agent
here, in September, had been two years suf-
fering severely with Rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
at a time TO my bed. The balance of the
time was compelled to crawl around upon
clutches. I used medicines without number,
including large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. Asto what
l suffered, the English language cannot tell
it TO any one who has not tried its realities
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispelled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. / used a bottle
a day for ten days. The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time in two years.
Since thenI have not used them, and can now
split cord of wood as quick as any man in
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
such sudden cure would kill me, but I wanted
a change, though it should he death.
That all who read this may know how l
have been, l will say, when commenced
using Wizard Oil, could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand.
4 was reduced to q mere skele-
ton, and most of the time
when L moved upon
crutches, or tried to stand
without them, L could not raise
either foot from the floor.
l used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
any for two months. I now feel as we'll as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty-five
pounds in flesh But must tell you it seems
almost like a dream. You can refer to me as
often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi-
Gems of Adrian viii testify to the truth of
my statements.
