fered 10 Years-Completely Cured
by Three Boxes of Cuticura.
"When 1 was about nine years old small
sores appeared on each of my lower limbs.
l scratched them with a brass pin, and
shortly afterwards both of those limbs be-
came so sore that l could scarcely walk.
When l had been suffering for about q
month the sores began to heal, but small,
scaly eruptions appeared where the sores
had been. From that time onward | was
troubled by such severe itching that, until
l became accustomed to it, l would scratch
the cores until the blood began to flow.
This would stop the itching for a few
days, but scaly places would appear again
and the itching would accompany them.
After l suffered abort ten years ! made a
renewed effort to effect a cure. The erup-
lions by this time had appeared on every
part of my body except my face and
hands. The best doctor in my native
county advised me to use arsenic in small
doses and a salve. l then used to baths
the sores in a mixture which gave almost
intolerable pain. In addition | used othe.
remedies, such as iodine, sulphur, zinc
salve, IS Salve, -- Ointment. and
in fact l was continually giving some rem
edy a fair trial, never using less than one
or two boxes or bottles. All this was
fruitiess. Finally my hs'r began to fall
out end l was -apidlv becoming bald. l
used -'s - but it did no good.
A few months after, having used almost
everything else, l thought | would try
Cuticura Ointment, having previously used
Csticura Soap and being pleased with it.
After using three boxes / was compl, ;ely
cured, and my hair was restored, after
fourteen y"ars of suffering and IN expen-
diture of at least $50 to $50 in vainI.' en-
