SKIN DISEASE.
A Remarkable letter from .. A. Tucker,
Esq, manufacturer of fhe BAY
State Superphosphatc.

Messrs. WEEKS s. POTTER: Gentlemen,-I think
have paid for medicines and medical treatment
during the last twenty years all of three thousand
dollars, without receiving any permanent relief.
Last May while taking Turkish bath at IL Bea-
con ST., young man employed there by the name
of VIM. Corbett induced me to allow him to apply a
preparation that he had upon me, assuring me that
it was perfectly harmless and for certain consider
alton he would cure me within thirty days from the
time he commenced In case he failed to do so l
was to pay him nothing. l consented and he applied
it nearly every day for five weeks when the disease
entirely disappeared. 1 very cheerfully paid him
the amount agreed upon, and then asked him what
this remedy was and he replied that it was other
than CUTICURA.
Since that time have had no trouble from this
disease and have not had such good health in twenty
years as have had during the last six months.
have since my recovery bought CUTICURA and
given it to friends suffering with skin Diseases and
in every instance it has cured them believe it to
be the greatest discovery of the present century.

A FREQUENT but Fatal Mistake

As the Irishman, who had just landed and
refused to pick up dollar, thinking to go
where they were thicker came to want, SO
those who fancy that cough or cold will cure
itself, and refuse to use Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medica! Discovery, often die with consump-
ton. This great remedy is an unsurpassed
,pectoral and blood purifier.' It speedily cures
cough or cold, and consumption in its early
stages readily yields to it. It has no known
equal in controlling and curing all scrofulous
tumors, ulcers, and eruptions. Some fancy
because the Discovery is ddoertised to cure a
aeide range Of diseases it cannot cure any.
Now, let us see. Suppose surgeon be setting
limb, could he not truthfulIy say that his
treatment would gradually overcome all faint
ness, nausea, dizziness, weakness and lame
ness? Each symptom different, yet all depend
ent upon the same cause. By this process the
Golden Medical Discovery cures many dis
eases, though all are dependent upon impov-
crushed blood, and general debility Read the

therein fully explained

POETRY.
An Old Ballad.

l pray thee send me back my heart,
Since / cannot have thine:
For If from yours you will not part,
Why, then, shouldst.thou have mine?
Yet now think ont, let it lie,
To find it were in vain.
For thou'st thief in either eye
Would steal it back again.
Why should two hearts in one breast lie,
And yet not lodge together?
o, Love! where is thy sympathy,
If thus our breasts thou sever?
But love is such mystery
/ cannot find it out;
For when think I'm best resolved
Then am most in doubt
Then, farewell care, and farewell woe;
l will no longer pine,
For I'll believe have her heart,
As much as she has mine.
Sir John Sucking, 1613-1641.
