Young Woman Found in Awful Con-

Of Sores from Scratching-Tried
Many Remedies for Seven Weeks
Result Mas Discouraging, But
ITCHING TORTURES
WELDED TO CUTICURA

While was doing missionary wor,
in the lower portion OF several cities |
found it necessary to know a little Of
the efficacy of few medicines and
after while found that little knowl-
edge Of Cuticura was about all needed.
One Of the very bad cases had to deal
with was that of g young woman who
had come to us not only broken in
spirit but in most awful condition
physically Our doctor examined her
and told us that she had scabies (the
itch), lnclplent ,paresls, rheumatism,
etc, brought on from exposure and the
effects Of her ragged-edged life. Her
poor body was a mass OF sores from
scratching and she was not able to
retain solid food. We tried many things,
good tonic was prescribed and baths
with rubbing of lard and sulphur. We
worked hard for seven weeks and you
can imagine how discouraged we were
when, after all that time, we could see
so little Improvement. One day hap
pened to see a Cuticura advertisement
telling how a little baby had been
cured of bad case Of skin eruption,
and although ! had but ninety-seven
cents with me, bought cake Of Cuti-
cura Soap and a bottle Of Cuticura
Resolvent. When ] reached home
was Ike child with a new toy, aud We
.
fun dose of the Reaolvenr. She slept
that night better than she had since
she had been with US and the next day
I located the price Of q box of Cuticura
Ointment, ! am not exaggerating
when ! say that in exactly five weeks
this young woman was able TO look for
position, being strong enough to work
and full of ambition. In another
month sho left the home, and now has
a good position in a nice family where
she is respected and is strong and well.
