HOW | SUFFERED.

Seventeen years from n Skin ID isease. Could
MOS walk or dress myself. A mass of
disease from head 10 foot. Cured in
eight weeks by the Cuticura RENE dies.
At the age of three months rash (Which after
wards proved to be eczema or salt rheum) made
It's appearance on my face. A physician was called.
He said teethiBg was the cause; he prescribed
some cooling medicine, but the sores spread to
my ears and head Another NJ. d. was called.
kings Evil" and prescribed gunpowder, brim-
stone, and lard mixed into salye; but the dis
ease continued. They could do nothingiwith it..An-
other prescribed boraX. water and flour; another
inseed poultices. None of them did me any good
at all, but made me worse. The disease contin-
ued undated it spread to my arms and legs till
was laid up entirely, and from continually sit
ting on the floor on pillow my limbs contracted
so that lost all control of them, and was ut err
ly helpless. My mother would have TO lift me out
and into bed. could get around the house on
my hands and feet but could not get my clothes
gown. My hair had all matted down or fallenn
of, and my head, face, and ears were one scab
and had TO have towel on my head all the time
in the summert to keep the flies off. My parents
consulted prominent physician and surgeon
here IN Chicago (the other physicians before mem
TONED were of Dundas and Hamilton Canada).
he said he could do nothing for me. he wanted
TO cut the sinews of my legs, that could walk;
but would not let him. for il did get better
would have no control owe them
The disease continued in this manner until
was seventeen years DID, and one day In January
1879, re d an account in tire Tribune, of your
CUTIcURA REMEDIES. 1t described my case SO
exactly that thought, as a last report, to give
them trial.
When first applied them was all raw and
bleeding. from scratching myself, but w mt asleep
almost Immediately, something had not done for
years, the effect was so soothing
IN about Two weeks could stand straight, but
not waikiki was so weak, but my sores were nearly
well. As near as can Judge the CUTIcURA
REMEDIES cured me in about SIX to eight weeks,
and up to this date(t. G. from January. 1879, to
January, 1887 have not been sick in any way,
or have had the least signs of the disease reap

gentleman walked into an insurance office at
Americas, Ga, the other day and took out poll
cy upon his life. AS his eight children were to be
the benehcaries In case of his DEATH it was neces
sary that their names be written upon the policy,
ana ne was asked by the agent to write them
seven, but on the eighth name he made a break
ne scratched his head In a perplexed manner
and went carefully over the list second and
third time, but IL was no use ~
.Mell, don't knowthat young ones name, he
said In desperation. IL knowed lem all nv heart
when left home this m0rnn'."
But In spite of all efforts to recall the name of
the eighth child, he finally had TO give il up and
actually went out In search of neighbor who
knew the family wei In order to find out the
name OF his own child.

This Fall my business had increased
so much, that decided to make des-
perate effort to run my sales up to
$1OO,O0O.OO. To do this purchased
for spot cash $4,000 worth Of clothing
and furnishing goods, the sale Of which
added to my regular run Of business,
would bring about the coveted result.
But Providence doesn't always dis.
pose as man man proposes, and the pro-
lOnged season OF rainy weather has
destroyed all calculation and left me
barely holding my own regular trade,
while the $4,000 stock is comparative
ly untouched. The wet weather has eff
fectually spoiled anything like a boom,
and but one course remains open, viz:
to sell the goods for what they will
bring, and stop the depreciatia n on
the goods which Is inevitable from
carrying over from season TO season.
The goods will be sold for what they
will bring, and that means a rapid
closing out, for at prices offered no one
can afford tO.spend a dollar elsewhere
for clothing.
