SKIN TORTURES.
Bx .Senator William TAYLOR
Proposes a Remarkable
Cure for Skin and Blood
Humors.

of diseased of the skin, among those
so sfflioted In this city, mono Is more
so than the cure OF Hon. William
Taylor of o s~orofulus skin humor.
Many who remember Mr.. Taylor's
condition just before he resorted to
the remedies were surprised at the
wonderful results. They cay that
both his head and face were broken
out with a most malignant type at skin
disease. His head was covered with
scsly patches and his face was dlsfg.
ured by fostering p!mples, blotches
and ugly cores. His hair wsn al.
so fast falling out. Notwithstand-
Ing physicians Of the highest standing
on the treatment of skin diseases
were called to his aid, their efforts
we're unavailing In even checking the
disease. 1t grew worse, and Mr..
Taylor was despairing OF a cure at
about the time when the Cutlcura
remedies began to attract public at
tention. Sufferers from skin troubles
we're drawn to them by the marvellous
cures that had followed their use, and
the great praise which was awarded
them on all aides. MI. Taylor seized
npon thu new cure with hopeful ex.
pectancy, which has been empty re.
warded be the cleansing of his skin of
vlrulant humor. To-day his skin Is
clear and healthy looking, his head Ia
not even troubled by dsndruff,
and the bald spots have
all been covered with hair.
Representatives of this paper who
know MI. Taylor intimately, and who
can vouch for the truth of every word
here written, called upon him and had
q lengthy conversation relative to the
Cuticura remedies and his own treat.

so that seeing him for the first time
one could hardly believe that 80
healthy a complexion had ever beenso
soreiy sflicted. Mr.. Taylor was great
In his praise of the remedies. He
believes that he owes to their use not
only the entire eradication of the skin
disease, but also his general return to
perfect health. In the course of con.
versation he said:
II had suffered for twelve years pre-
vious to 1873 with what the physicians
termed eczema of a most aggravated
type but what really seemed to be a
combination of several skin diseases.

Boston on the trouble. They treated

most chronic form. was on the point
of abandoning all hope of a cure when
the Cuticurs remedies came to
my notice. The treatment wal
most peculiar, and when l
first applied the remedies they
seemed to make my face and head
worse and intensifs I'D my suffsrings.
But now I can easily account for all
that. There was 30 much humor
lodged within my skin that the Cuti.
cura brought 1t to the surface In large
quantities. This was just contrary to
the way l had been treating the dis.
ease for years. All the doctora' efforts
seemed to have been directed towards
keeping the humor from coming to the

manner, by cleansing the
skin Of Its poisonous load.
The surface Of my face festered, and
large quantities of virus matter were
discharged. Such Was the condition
of my face and head for about three
weeks. After that time there ap.

may Judge how much the remedies
relieved me, for before their use there
were times In which I could get no
rest because Of the almost In.
siderable burning heat and itching
sores which covered my head and
face. After using hem three weeks
I experienced great comfort, for when
the Cuticurs was then applied it had a
most soothing effect The oozing
from the head, 80 noticeable in eczema
also ceased, and the scaly collections
dropped IF, leaving the scalp of the
head pure and healthy. I followed
the directions carefully for sixteen
months, and had conquered the terri
