AN ABSOLUTE CURE
OF Most Distressing Skin Disease,
by the Cuticura Remedies.

by the Cuticura Remedies.
In the winter of 1s79-sO 1 found myself
afflicted with a singular eruption on my
limbs, to which L had hitherto been a
stranger. The trouble appeared IN large
blotches. upon which the skin was rlised,
pain attended it. save a burning, singing
sensation and an intoerable itching, such as
was never before experienced. After be-
coming satisfied that 1t had come to STAY
called my physician, who, after thorough
examination, pronounced 1t case of eczema.
He comforted me by saying he could cure it;
that it was merely skin disease incident to
old people; was neither dangerous nor
contagious, but if not arrested would
prove exceedingly troublesome and annoy
ing to me. / asked him to prescribe,
which he did; powders and pills to be taken
inwardly, ana wash for outward applica
ton. / attended faithfully to all directions,
but the wash only aggravated the irritation,
and after few applications had to be aban-
doned. Becoming thoroughly alarmed, |
asked my physician to call counsel, which he
did. The case was examined, the medicine
changed obeyed orders TO the letter, all to
no purpose. The blotchcs would d slppear
in one place Qeaving stain upon the skin
as If some dark liquid had been spilled over
it, only to appear in another. 1t had been
part of my early education to discountenance
all advertis I'd medicines as a delusion and
snare but one day, in CHANGING over news

TICURA REMEDIES case precisely similar to
my own, and after reading it over several
times went Immediately to the nearest drug
store, purchased bottle of CUTIcURA REsoL-
VENT, two cakes of CUTICURA SOAP, and
box of CUTICURA, resolving to
use them clandestinely, carefully not
ing the effects. The result of the first bath,
with an after application OF the CUTICURA,
was most grateful and astonishing, quickly
allaylng the burning, itching sensation, and
making me almost forget it ever existed. l

Manager Manning to have the man
elected from the grounds. Manning de-
clared himself unable to do this, and
Hagan refused to allow the game to
proceed until his demand was com
piled with. This was not done, and
Hagan declared the game forfeited to

left the grounds. but finally Manager
Morton consented to waive his right to
