after q while it was in the flesh and
finally running sores broke out On his
legs, from below the knees to the ankles.
There are no words to tell all the dis
comfort and great suffering he had to
endure night and day. He used every
kind Of remedy and three physicians
treated him, one after the other, with
out any good results whatever. SO
one day | happened to read about
Cuticura Remedies. / asked him if
he would not try them. No. said he,
it's no use, I've spent enough money
now The next day l ordered FIVE
dollars worth Of Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvcnt.
He began to use them without conf
dence but after three wceks all the
fire stopped, and tho pains became
bearable. After three months he was
quite we'll. Two years later the pains
and sores came back after he had been
working hard and had taken cold.
But as soon as he used Cuticura again
It cured him. Two years ago l used
Cuticura Pills for general debility. They
did me q great deal OF good and made
me well. Three months since ] had pains
