Great Remedy Cured Skin Disese Of Long

Mr.. J. Weber, Of 1865 Vine street, San
Jose, Cal, writes an interesting story
OF terrible skin suffering which ended in
robust health when he found a remedy
which cured him like magic. Here is
Mr.. Webers own story;
"In July. 1900. my face began TO be
affected with terrible skin disease. !
went TO doctor. and he told me that
/ had been poisoned and he wanted to
operate on me. refused TO let him DO
so and after few months my face was
an awful sight. You could see that IL
was diseased to the bone. Some people
claimed that ! had cancer. Great boils
would appear, increasing in size and
paining me terribly. / began to doctor
again but no one could help me; large
pimples and boils woulil continue to
come. At that time ! had as many ~
ten on my face. ! was such terrible
sight that my friends could not bear TO
see me. / doctored for five years until
my funds gave out and / had to stop.
During this time tried over 800 RENE.

"0ne day / happened to hear OF d. d.
d. Prescription and learned that 1t had
cured several bad cases OF Eczema.
purchased bottle and then ] got a sec.
ond bottle. The use OF FIVE bottles cured
me. 1t has been eight months now and
the disease has not returned. My friends
ask what it was that cured me OF the
awful skin trouble and / answer that 1t
was d. ID. d. which healed me-"
We know that every word OF the
above letter is absolutely true. We keep

made appear TO be lasting. Come in and
