the work properly
Mr. Pearse also says that IN order
to sweep the streets everv day. or
right. the street force will have TO
be doubled. thereby increasing the
cost OF that department. The CITY
council does not seem to be in anv
mood just al present 10 allow any m

LEG A MASS OF HUMOR

About seven years ago small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
just above my ankle It irritated me
so that l began to scratch it, and it
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was one solid scale
like scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and 1t
was completely undermining our
health. 1 lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or in the presence of company,
l would have to scratch it until l had
the blood running down into my shoe.
l simply cannot describe my suffer-
ing during those seven years. The
pain, modification, loss of sleep, both
to myself and wife is simply inde-
scribable on paper and one has to ex-
perience it to know what it is.
Il tried all kinds of doctors and rem
edies but 1 might as well have thrown
my money down sewer. They would
dry up for little while and fill me
with hope only to break out again just
as bad If not worse. I had given up
hope of ever being cured when was
induced by my wife to give the Cuti-
cura Remedies trial. After taking
the Cuticura Remedies for a little
while 1 began to see a change, and
after taking a dozen bottles of Cuti-
cura Resolvent in conjunction with
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment, the trouble had entirely disap-
peared and my leg was as fine as the
day l was born. Now after lapse of
six months with no signs of recur-
renee 1 feel perfectly safe in extend
ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the
good the Cuticura Remedies have done
for me. I shall always recommend
them to my friends. w. H. White,
