I could do, with the help of the most
skillful doctors, it slowly, but surely
extended, until a year ago this winter
it covered M entire person in form
of dry scales. For the last three
years L have been unable to do any
labor, and suffering intensely all the
time, Every morning there could be,
nearly a dustpanful- of scales taken
from the sheet on my bed, some of
them as large as the envelope contain

piled Cuticura morning and evening.

skin as smooth as this sheet of paper.
