de Mailed Fre3. Booklet on the Skin and Blood. CUTICURA OINTMENT "When I was about nine years of old small sores appeared on each my lower limbs. I scratched them with a pin and shortly, afterwards both of those limbs became so sore that could scarcely walk. When I had been suffering for about a month the sores began to heal, but small scaly eruptions appeared where the sores had been.

From that time onward I was troubled by such severe itching that, until I became accustomed to it, I would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. This would stop the itching for a few days; but scaly places would appear again and the itching would accompany them. After I suffered about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. The best doctor in my native county advised me to use arsenio in small doses and a salve.

I then used to bathe the sores in a mixture which gave almost intolerable pain. In addition I used other remedies, such as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, -'s Salve, Ointment, and in fact I was continually giving some remedy a fair trial, never using less than one or two boxes or bottles. All this was fruitless. Finally my hair began tofall out and I was rapidly becoming bald. used Bot! Phoges.
