Among the many remarkable cures Of disease
of the skin, among those so afflicted in this city.
none is more so than the cure of Hon. William
Taylor of a scrofulous skin humor. Many who
remember Mr. Taylor's condition just before he
| resorted TO the remedies were surprised at the
wonderful results. They say that both his head
and face were broken out with a most malignant
| type of skin disease. His head was covered with
scaly patches and his face was dsfigured by fes-
tering pimpes, blotches and ugly sores His
hair was also fast falling out. NotwithstaEd-
ing physicians Of the highest standing on the
treatment of skin diseases were called to his aid,
their efforts were unavailing In even checking
the disease. II grew worse, and Mr. Taylor was
despairing of a cure at about the time when the
Cutioura remedies began to attract public atten-
ton. Sufferers from skin troubles were drawn to
them by the marvellous cures that had followed
their use, and the great praise which was awarded
them on all sides. Mr.. Taylor seized upon the
new cure with hopeful expectancy, which has
been amply rewarded by the cleansing of hts
skin of a viruent humOr To-day his skin is clear

by his friends; SO much so, that seeing him for

healthy complexion had ever been so sorely
afflicted. 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
diseIse, but also his general return to perfect
health. In the course of conversation, he said:
'I had suffered for twelve years previous to
1878 with what the physicians termed eczema

was most peculiar, and when first applied the
remedies they seemed to make my face and head

manner, by cleansing the skin of its poisonous
load. The surface OF my face festered, and large
quantities of matter were discharged.
Such was the condition of my face and head for
about three weeks. After that time there ap-
peared gradual improvement, which did not
cease until l was wholly cured. The improve
ment was first manifested in gradual lessening
of inflammation, the healing of what had been
fostering sores, and the disappearance of the
vast quantities of fostering matter which the
application of the Cuticura had brought to the
surface. You may Judge how much the remedies
