Limbs Below the Knees Were Fair- Feet Swollen—Sleep Broken—— Cured in 2 Days by Cuticura. “Some two months agp I had a humor break out on my limbs below my knees. They came to look like raw beefsteak, all red, and no one knows how they itched and burned. They were so swollen that I could not get my shoes on for a week or more. I used five or six different remedies and got no help, only when applying them the burning was worse and the itching less. For two or three-weeks the suffering was intense and during that time I did not sleep an hour at a time. Then one morn ing I trie-d a bit of Cuticura. From the moment it touched me the itching was gone and I have not felt a bit of it since. The swelling went down and in two days I had my shoes on and was about as usual. George B.
