Since the above was written, the
most searching inquiries have failsd
to discover the whereabouts Of this
It'll lcted person, and fears are enter

Of skin and blood humors. All agreed
that no harm could come Of Q trial,

Of Fl. e. Carpenter, Henderson, N.
Y, who was promptly and perma-
nently cured by the Cutioura RENEE
dies, and whose disease, reported In
his own words, presented ever more
distressing features than that of the
Honolulu plantea. Mr.. Carpenters
statement Is as follows:
IT have been afflicted for 20 years
with an obstinate skin disease, called
ledrosy, commencing on my scaly, and
In spite of all l could do, with the
help of the most sklllful doctors, It
slowly but surely extended, until Q
year ago this winter It covered my
entire person In form of dry scales.
For the last three years I have been
unable to do any labor and
suffered intensely all the time.
Every morning there could be
nearly Q dustpan full of scales
taken from the sheet on my bed, some
of them half as large as the envelope
containing this letter. In the latter
part of the spring my skin commenced
cracking open. I tried everything,
almost, that could DO thought Of with
out any relief. The 18th OF June I
started west, In hopes I could reach
the Hot Springs. I reached Detroit,
and was SO low I thought I should
have to 60 to the hospital, but finally
got o. far % Lansing, Mich, where I
had Q sister living. One Or. -
treated me about two weeks, but did
me no good. All thought 1 had but
q short time to live. I earnestly
prayed to die. My skin was cracked
through all over my back, across my
ribs; arms, hands, limbs, feet badly
swollen; toe.nails came off; finger.
nails dead and lard az bone; hair
dead, dry, and ~lifeless as old straw.
O, my God! how 1 did suffer.
my sister, Mrs. K. II. Davis, had
o small part of . box of Outicura In
the house. She wouldn't give up;
said, "We will try Cutioura." Some
was applied on one hand and arm.
Eureka! there was relief; stopped the
terrible burning sensation from the
word 60. They Immediately got the
resolvent, Cuticura, and soap.
commenced by taking one tablespoon
full of resolvent three times q day
after meals, had q bath once a day
water about blood heat; used Cuticur
soap'froely; applied Cuticuri morning
and evening. Result, returned to my
homo in just six weeks from the TIM
l left, and my akin a. smooth as thi
sheet Of paper.
