him to apply a preparation that he had upon me.
assuring mo that it was perfectly harmless, and
for a certain consideration lie would cure me
within thirty days from the time bo commenced
In esse he failed to do so I was to pay him noth*
ing. I consented and he applied it nearly every
day for five weeks when the disease entirely
disappeared. I very cheerfully paid him the
amount a creed upon, and then asked him what
tbo remedy wss. and lie replied that it was noue
other than Cutacura.
8»-»co that umy 1 have had no trouble from
this disease, and h*ve not had such good health
in twenty years as I have had duriug the last
mix months.
I have since my recovery bought Cuticura and
given it to friends suite ring with skin diseases,
and in every instance it has cured thorn. I be
hove it to be the greatest remedy of tho present
