every kind of SKIN disease proper

felt bound in justice to suffering humanity
to test the truth of this statement, and
either indorse or expose it. as it proved
worthy or unworthy. Accordingly / re-
ce;ved quantity of the remedy, and was
made familiar with the mode of prepara-
ton. The name given this remarkable pro-
duct is Cuticura, from cults, the skin, and
cura. a cure-a skin cure. In practice l
found 1t to possess wonderful curative proper
ties as they exist in no other remedy to be
found in the preparations of the day. Veg
etable products hitherto unattainable by
chemical manipulation yielded to the pro-
cess adopted by them. Their extraction by
distillation in the form of vapor. and con-
densation to the consistence OF jelly, form

medicine and pharmacy.
SOOTHING AND HEALING.
Cuticura, when used as directed. is won
derfully adopted to soothe and heal the
most inflsmed surface to aliay itchings and
limitations, to cleanse and purify the pores
of the skin, and restore to healthy and
regular action the oil glands. tubes and cells,
upon whose perfect action depend the pre-
servation of healthy skin and restoration
when diseased. 1t does not evaporate until
the temperature is raised to more than
double that of the body, and hence is not
dissipated by heat, but remains on the skin
until completely absorbed. It does not be-
come rancid or spoil on exposure in any cli-
mate. 1t will be as fresh, fragrant, soothing
and healing so years hence as it is to day
Contrast this with the horrible salves and
ointments of the present time. Its fragrant
oior is no more grateful than is its agreeable
taste. for, be it known, no remedy is better
adopted TO cure affections of the throat and
lungs than Cuticura
Having been charmed, l must confess
with the results of my analysis of this new
product my next step was to demonstrate
its value in the treatrlent of the great skin
affections usually considered incurable. /

in the breast of many a lifelong sufferer
Can l. in a broad and Christian spirit, with
out prejudice, without reservation, say TO
those afflicted, Here, in this great natural
remedy, is a speedy and permanent cure?
With just sense OF the responsibility / as
sumo, say [ can. There does not exist
case of chronic salt rheum scald head, dan
druf, or itching eruption. that Cuticura
may not cure, unless the recuperative pow
ers of the oil glands and tubes are destroyed
forever. One application to the severest
case brings a pleasurable relief impossible to
credit. 1t is so soothing, so penetrating, SO
healing, and withal so gentle and safe, that
before the patient is aware, healthy action
sets in and cure begins.
HUNDREDS OF CURES.
My first case was one OF salt-rheum OF
fifteen years duration, and extending over
three-q quarters of the body. including the
face and hands. Thousands of dollars had
been spent on this case. Europe had been
visited. Specialists of Continental reputa-
ton had grown fat on 1t, without Sd much
as affording relief SO that he could enjoy
full nights rest. | cursd it in three weeks

willing to let things take their course. A

LOSS OF HAIR
