Deadwood Dick has been a familiar

HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

About two months ago my hands
started to crack open and bleed, the
skin would scale of, and the good
flesh would burn and itch dreadfully.
When my hands first started to get
sore, there were small blisters like wa
ter blisters which formed. They
itched dreadfully, 1t just seemed as
though I could tear the skin all of. I
would scratch them and the skin would
peel of, and the flesh would be all
red and crack open and bleed. It wor-
rted me very much, as I had never
had anything the matter with my skin.
I was SO afraid I would have to give
up my employment.
my doctor said he didn't think 1t
would amount to anything. But it kept
getting worse. One day I saw a piece
IN one of the papers about a lady who
had the anne trouble with her hands.
She had used Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment and was cured. I decided to try
them, and my hands were all healed
before I had used one cake of CUT
cura Ointment. I am truly thankful
for the good results from the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them
I was cured, and did not have to lose
a day from work. I have had no re-
turn of the skin trouble" (signed)

About three years ago I became

many or them dying, with dead limbs
and much in iced of cultivation. I

the apples into cider, which made

the local market, but only
about enough to pay for picking and
