MADE SOUND AND WELL
BY 3 SETS OF CUTICURA

my trouble began about three years
ago with little black swellings scattered
over my face and neck. They would
disappear bat they would leave little
black scars that would itch at times so
! couldn't keep from scratching them.
Larger swellings would appear in the
same place and they We're so painful |
could hardly bear it and my clothes
would stick to the sores. The first
doctor / went to said the disease was
scrofula, but the trouble only got worse
and spread. By this time it was all over
my arms and the upper part Of my
body in big swellings as large as dollar.
IL was so painful that could not bear
TO lie on my back at night. The second
doctor pronounced my disease infiam-
nation Of the Emphatic glands. He
stopped the swellings, but when they
would break the places would not heal.
He tried everything that he could but
TO no effect. He said | might be cured
but it would take long time. i bought
a set Of the Cuticura Remedies and used
them according to directions and in less
than a week some of the places were
nearly well. l continued with the Cuti-
cura Remedies until / had used three
sets, and now / am sound and well.
