TERRIBLE SCALP HUMOR. Jlvail Covered With Humor Sorer, With XjrtSH of Hair—Another Speedy Cure by ( utlvuru Remedies. “Ail my life I had been troubled more or less with humor irt my eealp, but about a year ago it became worse, and my scalp was covered with little sores, which itched so it nearly made me crazy; my hair also began to get dry and fall out. f tried all kinds of hair restorers with no effect, and I was nearly discouraged, but one day 1 was reading in a paper what the Outicura Remedies had done for ecalp diseases, and decided to make a trial. I got a cake of Outicura Soap, a box of Cu- ticura Ointment and Outicura Resolvent Pills. I used them according to direc¬ tions, and soon noticed a difference; the tiny sores on my scalp began to heal, the itching stopped, and my hair began to grow thick. I have used only the one cake of Outicura Soup, one box of Oint¬ ment and one vial of Pills, and now 1 have no humor on my soalp and my hair is soft and silky. Miss Mayzie 0.
