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

MEssBs WEEKS g POTTER GsntGemen,-To say
thatI am grateful, is only poor expression of my
feelings, but it is the best word can use, for 1
feel 1t in every sense Of the word. l have been q
great sufferer with skin diseases for the last twelve
(12) 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 time. My disease has
been called Eczema, OF most aggravated type, by
many physicians, but doubt if ever fully under-
stood by any Of them. 1t was more like combi-
nation of several skin humors. / have spent
much money seeking cure, and in 1867 went 10
Europe and consulted some of The best physicians
in London, received temporary relief only, for
in the spring 1t would break out as bad ever.
When came back to Boston, Twas told by many
friends that DR.. -, (whosc reputation for tue
cure of those diseases was of the highest ORDER
could cure me. i waited on the doctor; he pre-
scribed for me, l followed his advice for six
months and can safely say, without any improve
ment. tried other physicians, and among them
DR.. -, of East Boston, and DR.. If city
proper, but all to no purpose They did me no
good; their remedies.were Intellectual that at
time did feel that cure would resultfrom them
have swallowed five hundred arsenic pills $40
grain and taken bottle after bottle of internal
edies, besides all the external ap pcations have
used, but the effect he saue. became salts
fed tina could not be cured, but might be kept
from getting worse.
Now, about three months ago, Mr. Meehan, a
gentleman well known to Boston people, called
my attention TO your CUTIcURA, and promised
wonderful results II would only make trial.
He told me of his own experience with 1t, and so
persevered on me that went with him to q drug
sJOfO duu OOugnt TWO large DOA6S O1 CUTiCUhAs
and some Soap, and commenced to use 1t 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 quantities had come
out and greatly intensified my suffeFings 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 in such large quantities.
After the first two or three weeks use of this
edy, was greatly encouraged by gradual les
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 GUrcURA, and twelve
years Of as constant suffering was ever endured,
can say that am cured, and pronounce my case
the most remarkable on record I have been so
eated with my success that have stopped men on
the street who were afflicted and told them to get
the CUTICURA and It would cure them. This is
why am SO grateful to you, for believe 1t to be
the best and greatest discovery Of the age and that
1t Will cure all who are suffering with these dis
eases. ] may add thatI took no internal medicine
\ but the CUTtCURA REsOLvENT. ----- .
