bleeding spots in the inner flesh, each
new spot a new wound.
Although they deyour the blood much
more is lost from the open points left
as they move into a new position. The
hemorrhages depend, to be sure, upon
the multitude of hookworms present.
The worms also injure the human tis-
sue with some OF their own noxious
products-both their waste matter and
their saliva. This with the swarm Of

RI WORMS So BAD

-" Some time ago I suffered terribly from
ringworms. They broke out in small blisters
and the head became scaly. So bad were
the ringworns that the hair was completely
eaten away. the scalp became tender and
irritated. so much so that after being touched
sores began to spread. After few weeks
the head became a solid mass Of sore erup-
tion. In some instances the irritation was
so severe that II was almost impossible to
rest.
These ringworms had been running
for two or three months and numerous
remedies. home and prescribed. were tried
but TO no avail. Some one hit upon the
idea to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment a.
We had been using il in the family for the
babies Upon the first application relief
was afforded. in two months an entire new
growth of hair had come forth and after
continuing the treatment for another month
was completely healed OF the rinxvorms."
