AN EDITORS
EXPERIENCE
IN the Treatment Of Humours
With More Than Magical
Effect With
cUTICURa REMEDIES.
A Remarkable Testimonial from
a Most Intelligent and
Trustworthy Lady.

~ tumor came on my neck and Ia Q
day or two 1t was as large as half an
orange. Twas very much alarmed for
fear 1t was malignant. My friends
tried to persuade me to consult my
physician; but dresding that he would
insist on using the knife, would not
consent to go. Instead, / got Cuticura
Kesolvent and Cuticura Ointment. L
took the former according to direc.
lions, and spread thick layer of the
Ointment on the swelling. On renew
Ing 1t would bathe my neck In very
warm water and Cuticura Soap. In O
few days the Cuticura Ointment had
drawn the swelling to O 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 yellow,
chessy, 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
