scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.

Doctors and Remedies Fruitless-
Suffered 10 Years-COmpIetely
Cured by Three Boxes of Cuticura.
when vas about nine years old
small sores appeared on each Of my
lower limbs ] scratched them with a
brass pin and shortly afterward both
of those limbs became 50 sore that l
could scarcely walk. When l had
been suffering for about 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 | became accustomed to 1t,
would scratch the sores 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
/ suffered about ten years l made a
renewed effort to effect q cure. The
eruptions by this time had appeared on
every part of my body except my face
and hands. The best doctors in my ma
tive country advised ME to use arsenic
In small doses and a salve. l then
used to battle the sores IN q mixture
which gave almost intolerable pain. IN
addition l used other remedies, such
as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, IS
Salve, - Ointment, and in fact I
was continually giving some remedy
fair trial, never using less than one
or two boxes or bottles All this was
fruHless. Finally my hair began to
fall out and l was rapidly becoming
bald. / used IS -, but 1t did no
good. A few months after, having used
almost everything else, l thought
would try Cuticura Ointment, having
previously used Cuticura Soap and be-
ing pleased with it. After using three
boxes l was completely cured, and my
hair was restored, after fourteen years
OF suffering and an expenditure of at
least $50 or $50 in vainly endeavoring
to find a cure. / shall be glad to write
to any one who may be interested in
my cure. b. Hiram Mattingly, Ver-
