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

ga tumor came or my neck and in q
day or two it was as large as half an
orange. I was very much alarmedkfor
fear it was malignant. My friends
tried to persuade me to consult my
physician; but dreading that he would
insist on using the knife, I would not
consent to go. Instead, I got Cuticura
Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment. T
took the former according to direc.
lions, and spread a thick layer of the
Ointment on the swelling. On renew.
ing it I would battle my neck in very
warn water and Cuticura Soap. In g
few days the Cuticura Ointment had
drawn the swelling to a head, when it
broke. Every morning it was opened
with a large sterilized needle, squeezed
and bathed, and fresh Ointment put
ON. iPus 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. w
"About five or six years ago my sis
ter had a similar experience, used the
Cuticura Remedies with magical effect.

monial, with the further privilege OF

"HERE are two things that the whole
L medical profession agree about con
corning catarrh. The first is hat ca
tarrh IS the mostpreValent and omnipres-
ent disease to which the people in the
United States are subject. All classes
Of people have it. Those who stay in
doors much and those who go outdoors
much. Working classes nave it and
sedentary classes have it.
The doctor finds catarrh to be his con
slant and ever-present foe. It compli-
cites nearly every disease he is called
? Ipon to treat.
-tEhe second thing about catarrh on
which all doctors agree, Is that it is diff
iic1lt to cure it. Local remedies may
c give relief but they fail to cure per-
*nanently. Sprays or snuffs mount to
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1904-01-28

little or nothing except to give tempo
rary relief.
Catarrh is frequently located in inter
nal organs which canno be reached by
any sort of local treatment. All this
is known by every physician.
To devise some systemic If ternal rem
edy which would reach catarrh at its
source, to eradicate it permanently
from the systeEl-this has been the de-
sire Of the medical profession for q long
time. Forty years ago DR.. Hartman
confronted this problem. He believed
then that he had solved It. He still be
lieves he has solved it. He cures 4ou
sands of people annually. During all
these years Peruna has been the remedy
upon which he has relied.
It was at first a private prescription,

The quality OF courage possessed by

Icopards prey on goats sheep and,
when they can get them, on tame dogs;
wolves on sheep and cattle, stonts or
rabbits and hares, and weasels OH rats
and mice. But, though the Jungles
which they visit abound In defcnselcss
animals, the wild dog does not limit his
attacks To these. The packs deliberate

IT is becoming apparent even
from the very meager reports that
are received from the seat of war in
the East that the Russian cause is
not prospecting. Bismarck, who was
one Of the keenest judges Of nations
as well as men, once said, "Iou
scratch Russia, and underneath you
find nothing" In other words the
country is more or less a big bluff,
and its great military organization
may be vastly over rated its naval
equipments is certainly not showing re-
markable strength in standing the test.
Possibly it is for little Japan to dis
cover that an intelligent few may
more than match the ignorant many.
