Bleeding-Cured by Cuticura.
IT was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty
five years. 1t was in patches all over my
body. l used three cakes of Cuticura
Soap, six boxes of Ointment and two bot
ties of Resolvent. In thirty days l was
completely cured, and think permanent
ly, as it was about five years ago. The
psoriasis first made its appearance in red
spots, generally forming a circle, leaving
in the centre a spot about the size of a
silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short
time the affected circle would form a
heavy dry scale of white silvery appear
ance, and would gradually drop off. To
remove the entire scales by bathing or
using oil to soften them the flesh would
be perfectly raw, and light discharge of
bloody substance would ooze out. That
scaly crust would form again in twenty
four hours. 1t was woraD on my arms and
limbs, although it was in spots all over
my body, also on my scalp. If let the
scales remain too long without removing
by bath or otherwise, the skin would
crack and bleed. suffered intense itch

says: 81 was accustomed to eating

( after / had run down seriously
my attention was called to the neces-
sity of some change in my diet, and !
discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts with a
good quantity of rich cream.
"In q few days my condition

began to have a strength that had
never been possessed of before, a
vigor of body and poise Of mind
that ~mazed me. 1t was entirely new
in my experience.
my former attacks of Indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was
distressing with blind spells of dizzi-
ness, rush of blood to the head and
neuralgia pains in the chest.
Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast have been free from these
troubles, except at times when l have
INDUCED in rich, greasy foods in
quantity, then would be warned by
a pain under the left shoulder blade,
and unless l needed the warning the
old trouble would come back, but
