"Some time ago I wrote you for a
book on the Cutioura Remedies and
received it o. X. and went and bought
the Soap, Ointment, and Pills. They did
me more good than any medicine I ever
used. They cured me Ofmy skin disease,
and am very thankful to you. My
trouble was eruption of the skin, which
broke out in spots all over my body,
and caused a continual itching which
nearly drove me wild at times. I got
medicine Of 8 doctor, but it did not cure
me, and when I saw in a paper your
adj, sent to you for the Cuticura book
and I studied my case in it. then
went 10 the drug store and bought one
cake Of Cuticura Soap, one box of Gu
ticura Ointment, and one vial Of Cuti-
cura Pills. From the first application
I received relief. I used the first set
and two extra cakes of Cuticura Soap,
and was completely cured. I had
suffered for two years, and I again
thank Cuticura for my cure. If you

stated polygamous marriages. He found
many young women who had recently
entered into the plural marriage relation
with leading elders of the Mormon
church. Prof. Wolfe is quoted as say
ing:
THE Mormon settlements in Mexico
are closely in touch with those Of AIi-
iona, and in each case polygamy is
practically as freely today as it ever has
BEEN
Prof Wolfe is quoted as saying that
he sought an explanation Of these con-
ditions of Apostle John Henry Smith,
asking how these polygamous marriages
could be reconciled with the Woodruff
manifesto and he is reported as quot
ing Apostle Smith as follows:
why, Brother Wolfe, do you not un-
derstand that the manifesto was only a
trick devised to beat the devil at his
own game"
Prof. Wolfe is a native of New York,
the son of a Presbyterian clergyman.
After engaging in the newspaper busi-
ness he came to Utah ten years ago and
became a convert to Mormonism.
