SALT RHEUM ON BODY

es. A wonderful cure.
Messrs WEEKS q POTTER: GenttemeR-In justice
to those who may suffer as have suffered and as
grateful acknowledgement of the cure / have re-
ceived from the of the CUTIcURA REMEDIES, l
voluntarily make the following statement
have had Salt Rheum on my body and on one leg
in very aggravated form for eight years. No kind
of treatment, medicine, or doctors, during this
time, did me any permanent good. My friends in
Maiden and elsewhere know that have been great
sufferer and that my condition at times has been
such as to make despair of being able to find
a cure, even a relief In fact, when began the
use of CUTIcURA, my limb was so raw and tender
that could not bear my weight on it without the
skin cracking and bleeding, and was obliged to go
about ON crutches. L commenced to use the CUTICU-
RIA in April, and at realized its beneficial eff
fects. 1t gradually drew the Inflammation and hui
NOR the surface and, fast it appeared healed
it. At times large quantities would come to the sur
face. causing burning heat, Inflammation, swelling
and itching which, under the constant use of CUTI-
cURA, would rapidly subside and heal. Each time
these outbreaks grew less and less severe and
finally disappeared, leaving me perfectly cured l
used the CUTIoyRA five months and took the RE-
SOLVENT most of the time, which the only
remedies l used. L think the REsoLvENT very
strengthening and purifying medicine to take in
such extreme mine because the disease is SO
weakening to the system.
Very gratefully yours

ECZEMA OF THE HANDS
Cured. Interesting letter from a we'll
known Attorney.


EDITOR NEW ORLEANS PICAYUNE; SI,-Since
the fall of 1867 up to the last three weeks, have
been troubled with an eruption of the skin, which
the doctors call by various Names but which is
generally known by the name Eczema or salt
Rheum. The principal place of the attack was my
hands, which at times, especially during the winter
time were very sore.
At times the disease threatened to spread from my
hands and envelope my whole body. Doctors have
been consulted in Philadelphia, Washington and in
this city, with no more success than temporary
relief. After considerable expense and much pain
and suffering. had come to the conclus ion that
would, as the saying goes, have to grin and bear it,
About four weeks ago read i'll the Picdyune the
advertisement of CUTICURA, for sale by our we'll
known druggist Mr.. LYONS, and resolved to try It,
purchased fifty-cent box, and before it was half
used the disease had completely disappeared, and
feel certain that mine is a permanent cure.
My object in sending you this letter is to make
known to other sufferers the value of CUTICURA
and thus benefit if ever so little suffering humanity
Yours truly. T. z. CARROLL,
AttO1ney and Counsellor at Lar.

of his own country may say about him. For he was
our fathers friend in the days that tried mems

Wilkes County has been the theatre of scores Of
tragic episodes, both during the Rebellion and
since 1t was the home of dreds of families Of
answering loyalists. IL was originally settled by
Scottish ana Scotch-risa einigTants who nOurished

tou was mercilessly enforced. As fast the North
Carolina loyalsts forced TO the front they de-
serted and went home or crossed the lines and en-

Zebulon Vance was Governor. Exasperated at
the inextinguishable loyalty of tho mountaneers,
and especially Of the UniouIsts of Wilkes County,

CHECKING DISEASE AMONG CATTLE.

WHY THE IMPORTATION OF cows FROM NEWER
sEY AND PENNSYLVANIA Is PROHIBITED.
Professor Law, one of the State agents appointed
by Governor Robinson to prevent the spread of
pleuro-pneumOnla among CATTLE said recently
that the order issued by General NJ. X. Pat
rick. to prevent the importation into this State of
any cows or other store cattle from the State Of
New-Jersey," was also intended TO be applied TO
Pennsylvania and that having made New-Jersey
the objective point itsauthorites should take steps
to prevent the disease from being introduced there
from other States When asked for the reasons
which compelled this embargo, Professor Law said ;
"The whole of New-Jersey is not under control of
the State Inspectors and their authority is therefore
much restricted. No blame can be attached to them
in that respect for until now we have not had full con-
trolofthis State This restriction entaed the sending
of Now-Jersey cows to New-YorE with and without
permits aud we could not tell whether they came
from infected herds or not The fact that the seeds
Of the disease may lie dormant for month or two
without detection makes it difficult to detect it,,
and we could only learn of the existence of
the disease when the herds in which such
cows 70 became infected. The New
jersey authorizes have quarantincd all herds
known 10 be infected, but they have taken no sat
isfactOry steps toward killing the sick and giving
indemnity for them. IL follows that the owners OF
the retention of the sick among the healthy, in
many cases will hide the fact Of disease In herds,
destroy OF secrete the sick and send the apparently
healthy to the markets Of New-York and New-Jer-
