EXPERIENCE
In the Treatment of HumOurS
with More Than Magical
Effect with
CUTICURA REMEDIES.
A Remarkable Testimonial from
a Most Intelligent and
Trustworthy Lady.

"a tumor came on my neck and in a
day or two it was as large as half an
orange. was very much alarmed for
fear it was malignant. My friends
tried to persuade me to consult my
physician; but dreading that he would
insist on using the knife, would not
consent to go. Instead, I got Cuticura
Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment. [
took the former according to direc-
lions, and spread thick layer of the
Ointment on the swelling. On renew
ing it l would battle my neck in very
warm water and Cuticura Soap. In a
few days the Cuticura Ointment had
drawn the swelling to head, when it
broke. Every morning it was opened
with large sterilized needle, squeezed
and bathed, and fresh Ointment put
on. Pus and blood, and a yellow,
cheesy, humorous matter came out. In
about three or four weeks time this
treatment completely eliminated the
tumOr. The soreness that had ex-
tended down into my chest was all
gone, and my neck now seems to be
perfectly well.
about five or six years ago my sis
ter had similar experience, used the
Cuticura Remedies with magical effect.
am willing you should use my testi-
monial, with the further privilege of
revealing my name and address to such
persons as may wish to substantiate
the above statements by personal letter

Meaning of Word Doctor

"The signifcation Of the word doc
tor is quite interesting" said a writer
in the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
In its original import it means
person so skilled in his particular art
or science as to be qualified to teach
it; or one who has taken the highest
degree in the faculties of divinity.
law, physics or music. There is much
difference Of opinion as to the time
when the title doctor was first Great
ed. It seems to have been established
for the professors of the Roman law
in the University of Bologna, about
the middle of the twelfth century.
After it was adopted it was conferred
with expense and magniicence and
solemnity; the time requisite for the
degree is from three to eleven years.
Medical science, however, dates
back to the time Of Plato's age, B. c.
429. when Aesculapius' knowledge and
methods of practice prevailed, and
whose remedies were incantations,
