About six wpeka airo a swelling came
in my groiu )i Ini'lie from uiy navel
about the sizeoi ahalf lemon very painful
and sail to b caused by blood poiaon. I
doctored about six wepka, and was get
ting worse, when Mr. brown told me
about San-Cura Ointment. I applied It
aa a poultice, changing morning aim
night, reinovinu all pain at once. In '.wo
(lava it broke, discharging pus. I (hen
changed it once a day until it was per
fectly healed. I recommend San-C'ura
Ointment as the bi st poultice I ever used.
It removes pain and all pus, keeping a
sore moist and soft.
