Early last winter I was called upon to pre-
fsssionally investigate the authenticity and
reliability of certain series Of remedies
which had recently been introduced to the
medical profession and the public, and which
claimed to be an infallible cure for diseases of
the skin and scalp and scrofuIous and cancer
GUS humors of the blood. These were no
other than the justly celebrated Cuticura
remedies. But did not even accept the ev-
idence of those whom / knew to have been
cured of diseases which the most eminent Of
the faculty declared incursble. l went still
further, and carefully analy zed each Of thess
preparations and the theraputiH effects of the
| several elements of which they are composed
| on the diseased organism and in the light OF
the most careful, impartial and practical in.
vestigation that the experience of a quarter
Of century could bestow, | couscentiously
and emphatically pronounce them the most
marvellous and curative agencies known TO
medical science. They embody in an econom-
icll, concentrated and agreeable form, the
curative properties of many substances never
before employed in medicine, and entirely
leterious nature and, as might be expected,
have effected cures is astounding and remark
able in their character as they have been
speedy and permanent in their results. 1t
must be borne in mind that these are not the
observations of an enthusiast, but the simple
truthful, unvarnished statements of the prac-
titioner who has arrived at this conviction as
the result of q deliberate, careful and
RIGID INVESTIGATION.
The most powerful and effective of these
remedies is the Cuticura Resolvent, which,
operating with energy without violence)
upon the kidneys, liver, bowels and pores of
the skin, ueutralizes, absorbs and expels all
scrofulous, cancerous or il nfiammatory humors
from the blood, and restores the torpid or
diseased functions to their pristine vigor,
purity ard regularity of action. It is not
only restorative and purifying in its influence.
but acts as an invincible protection or charm
against infection by destroying the disease
germ, and rendering the person impregnable
to coLtagion. But, as local and external treat.
ment is an essential adjunct to the proper and
effective operation Of the Resolvent in expelling
those hun ors, the Cuticura and Cuticura
Soap, the great skin cures, have proved them
selves infallibls and effective agents in allay-
ing the itching and irritation, removing all
| the decayed and morbid matter from the dis
cuticle to its original condition of moisture
and vigor. They sootbe, soften and heal,
preserve and beautify-in a word, they sup
ply all the elements necessary to entire resto-
ration to normal condition of health. This
evidence of their value l have derived from a
personal knowledge of hundreds of apparently
hopeless cases which have been permanently
cured of skin affections of life long duration,
and if any more definite or direct demonstra

only to refer briefly to the following astound.
ing instances to insure absolute conviction
that the Cuticura remedies are the grandest
| curatives of the present age:
ORIGINAL AND HEALING VIRTUES.
I learned from Hiram E. Carpenter, of
Henderson, n Y, that he had suffered for
twenty years with psoriasis, or modern lep-
rosy-his body and limbs badly swollen, his
finger and toe nails decaying his flesh hsr-
denipg into bone, his hair dead, dry and life
| less-he had tried every system of medicine,
and consulted the most eminent practitioners,
| but without even temporary relief. Per-
| suaded to try the Cuticura remedies, he faith
| fully applied the Cuticura and Cuticura Soap.
and took the Cuticura Resolvent for Si1
| aceeks only. Result, returned to his home at
the close of that period with his skin as
| smooth and clear as sheet Of paper-a
miracle second only to that of the leper re-
corded in Holy Writ.
The Hon. William Taylor, late Senator of
Massachusetts,, now of this city, declared to
me that for twelve years he had been, like
Job, covered with sores of every kind in
| fact, eczema of a most inveterate and aggra-
| waited type. He had sought the advice of
every eminent physician in Europe, as well
| as those of the highest reputation in Boston,

remedies were Intellectual. After three
| months use of the Cuticura remedies / am
entirely and etfectually cured, and pronounce
| my case as the most remarkable on record.
At the present moment (January, 1882,
am in perfect health, and my cure has proved
permanent"
Still another case equally wonderful, is that
| of Mrs Asa r. Brown, of Maiden, Mass.
| whose sufferings and cure by the Cuticura
| remedies are known to hundreds of citizens
of that town. Her limbs were 80 raw and
tender from scrofulous humors that she was
| obliged to get about crutches. And fully
as remarkable, or even more So is the case of
salt rheum of Will Mcdonald, 2542 Dear
born street, Chicago which alone is sufficient
to make the reputation of the Cuticura rem
edies. He says Il suffered for seventeen
years with salt rheum on a face, arms neck
| and legs. I could not walk. [ was obliged
to creep on my hands and knees for years

those who doubt this write to me, or come

well known patent lawyer of II Congress
street, recites the particulars of case equal
in duration and suffering to that of young
Mcdonald, which was speedily cured by the
Cuticura remedies.
A striking instance of entire eradication of
hereditary rodent eczema in child II years
of age is given in the evidence of Mr.. Chas.
Eayre Hinkle, of Fairmont avenue, Jersey
City Heights, N. J. He said : My son was
afflicted with the worst form of eczema for
eight wears. From the top of his head to the
soles of his feet he was one mass of scsbs.
Every remedy was tried in vain. After using
the Cuticura remedies for one week there
was a marked change, and now the child's
skin is ss fair and smooth and free from
blemish as it was before the disease attacked
him."

TRIUMPHANT RECORD.
Of such record the discoverers of the Cuti.
