Michigan has been the home of Arthur H
Thomas for twenty-six years, and he i,
known in Edmore, Bad Axe Bay City
and Vassar as an honest, pains-taking
conscientious workman. Since coming to Vas.
sar, Mr.. Thomas has been engaged in the max.
ing of boots and shoes, and has gained forhim-
self an enviable place in the confidence of his
employers and patrons, as is attested by his
general popularity. Observing most radical
change in the personal appearance of Mr..
Thomas since his residence here, a representa-
tive of the Times called on that gentleman who

skin and general appearance calls to my
mind wildly a very important circumstance
in my life, which l think many of your
readers will appreciate your philanthropy
in publishing It's not long story, but it
means considerable to me, for it marks the
dawn of a new life. am now in my twenty
seventh year, and since about fifteen years
of age have been afflicted with what most
of my attending physicians have called

next my back, then my arms, until almost
every part of my entire body was covered so

point of lead pencil upon my flesh without
striking a sore spot Ny sufferings gradu-
ally increased as the disease attained age,
the tortures of which no tongue or pen could
describe. First / consulted physicians of
unquestioned repute at Edmore, and after
following their instructions and taking their
medicines as directed, l gave it up, because
