scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies FruitIess-Suf
fered 10 Years - Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

when I was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs. 1 scratched them with a
brass pin and shortly afterwards both
of those limbs became so sore that
l could scarcely walk. When had
been suffering for about a month
the sores began to heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been. From that time on
ward l was troubled by such severe
itching that, until l became accus-
toned to it, 1 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 accom-
pany them. After / suffered about
ten years l made a renewed effort to
effect a cure. The eruptions by this
time had appeared on every part of
my body except my face and hands.
The best doctors in my native coun.
ty advised me to use arsenic/in small
doses and salve. l then used to
bathe the sores in a mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In ad
dition l used other remedies, such
as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, IS
Salve, - Ointment, and in fact ]
was continually giving some remedy
fair trial, never using less than
one or two boxes or bottles. All
this was fruitless. Finally my hair
began to fall out and 1 was rapidly
becoming bald. l used IS -
but it did no good A few months
after having used almost everything
else, l thought l would try Cuticura
Ointment, having previously used
Cuticura Soap and being pleased with
it. After using three boxes l was
completely cured, and my hair was
restored, after fourteen years of suf
fering and an expenditure of at least
$50 or $50 in vainly endeavoring tc
find cure. shall be glad to write

of the throat and lungs who estab-

Newspapers for the Blind.

The announcement that the London
Daily Mail is about to issue weekly
edition for the blind, draws attention
to the other British journals published
In Braille type, which have had long
and useful career, though they have
seldom been seen by the general pub
lie. The first weekly newspaper for
the blind was published on June l.,
1892, and called the Weekly Summary.
It has always been issued below cost
price. and it's promoters derive no
benefit from its publication. An
other was started only last year,
called the Braille Weekly, and issued
from Edinburgh.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
