s'Disfigured s' For Life"

Is the despairing cry of thousands
 afflicted with Unsightly skin diseases. Do you realize what this diSfigura-
 ton means to sensitive souls? It means isolation, SecluSion. It is a bar to social and business success. Do you wonder that despair SeizeS
 upon these sufferers when Doctors fail,
 Standard remedies fail, And nostrums prove worse than use-
 less?
 Skin diseases are most obstinate to cure or even relieve. It is an easy matter to claim to cure
 them, but quite another thing to
 do so.
 CUTICURA REMEDIES Have earned the right to be called
 Skin Specifics,
 Because for years they have met with most remarkable success. There are cases that they cannot cure, but they are few indeed. It is no ong-drawn-o out, expensive
 experiment: 1 25c. invested in cake Of CUTICURA SOAP Will prove more convincing than
 page of advertisement. In short
 CUTICURA works wonders, And its cures are simply marvellous.
