HIRAM CARPENTERS WONDER
Full CURE OF PSORIASIS.

II have been afflicted for. twenty
years with an obstinate skin disease,
called by some M. DIS. psoriasis, and
others leprosy, commencing on my
scalp; and in spite Of all I could do.
with the help of the most slilful doc
tors, it slowly but surely extended un-
til a year ago this. winter it covered
my entire person In the form Of dry
scales. For the last three years have
been unable to do any labor, and
suffering intensely all the time. Every
morning there would be nearly dust
painful Of scales taken from the sheet
on my bed, some Of them half as large
as the envelope containing this letter.
In the latter part of winter my skin
commenced cracking open. I tried
everything, almost, that could be
thought of, without any relief. The
18th OF June I started West, in hopes
l could reach the Hot Springs. !
reached Detroit and was so low I
thought should have to go to the
hospital, but finally got as far as Lam
sing, Mich, where l had sister liv-
ing. One DR.. - treated me about
two weeks, but did me no good. All
thought had but short time to live.
/ earnestly prayed to die. Cracked
through the skin all over my back
across my ribs, arms, hands, limbs:
feet badly swollen; toe-nails came off;
1nger-nails dead and hard as a bone;
hair dead, dry and lifeless as old
straw. o my God! how did suffer.
my sister wouldn't give up; said,
we will try Cuticura.' Some was ap-
piled to one hand and arm. Eureka!
there was relief; stopped the terrible
burning sensation from the word go.
They Immediately got Cuticura Re-
solvent, Ointment and Soap. COM

three time a;lday after meals; had

piled Cuticura Ointment morning and
evening. Result: returned to my
home in just six weeks from the time
left. and my skin as smooth as this
