Aunt Selma put her clothes In a tub
In the laundry and proceeded to dress
them like a vegetable. She threw in
handful of salt, some kerosene oil
and little ammonia. The result was
villainous, but after she tasted it-or

OF soap cut up to give 1t strengthen

for 1t.

WAR ON PHOSSY JAW
Frightful Disease That Attacks
the Match Workers.
Caused by the Absorption of Phos
9horous Through the Teeth or
Gums and Aqonizing Death
Often Results

Washington.--ln 1909 the American
Association for Labor Legislation, in
cooperation with the United States
bureau of labor, investigated the
match industry in America. and in
May, 1910. the result was published
in Bulletin SO of the bureau of labor.
The investigation showed that
"phossy jaw" has attacked large num-
bers of match workers, and that So
per cent. of all employed in the match
industry are liable to contract the
disease. while 95 per cent. OF the
women, and 83 per cent of the chill
dren are so exposed And the list
OF victims Is growing month by
MONTH
The disease Is caused by the absorb
ton of PHOSPHORUS through the teeth
or gums. Inflammation Is set D.
which extends along the jaw, killing
the teeth and bones. The gums be-
come swollen and purple. the teeth
loosen and drop out. and the jaw
bones decompose, ,assiIg away in
nauseating pus, which sometimes
breaks through the neck in the form
of an abscess, or oozes into the
mouth
When the disease ia once estab.
lished. surgical operation is usually
the only means of arresting it, En-
tire. jaws have been cut out, and agon-
izing deaths occasionally result. The
stencil from the decomposing bones
is indescribable. and is SO nauseating
that dentists and physicians alike
av bid patients suffering rom 'phossy

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
cUTlCURA REMEDIES

Il wish to let you know OF a couple
Of recent cures which have made
by the use of the Cuticura Remedies.
Last August, Mr.. of this city
came to my office. tzoubled with q
severe skin eruption. It was dermatitis
in It's worst form. 1t started with a
slight eruption and would affect most
parts Of his body, thighs. elbows,
chest, back and abdomen-and would
terminate in little pustules. The Itch
ing and burning was dreadful and he
would almost tear his skin apart, try
ing to get relief l recommended all
the various treatments l could think
of and he spent about fifteen dollars
on prescriptions, but nothing seemed
to help him.
I'm the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with slight
skin trouble and who had been try
ing different prescriptions and meth
DDS with my assistance, told me she
was going to get some of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them a fair trial
But as l did not know much about

whether 1t would help her. Her skin
would thicken. break and bleed, es-
pecially on the fingers, wrists and
arms. could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths of Cuticura
Soap and applications Of Cuticura
Ointment she saw decided improve
ment and in few days she was COM
pletely cured.
81 lost no time in recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. -.
and this was two months ago. I told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment generously. Believe
me, from the very first days use of
the Cuticura Remedies 10 was greatly
relieved and today he is completely
cured through their use. / have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and

them now that 1 am convinced of
their wonderful merits" (Signed) B.
