I resorted t the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous re lief afforded that wo discarded the phy sician's prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment snd Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limb were covered with .unning sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. "In July of this year a little hoy in out family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak, and in twenty-four hours hi hands and arms were a mans of torturing ores. We used only the Cuticura Rem edies, washing his bands anil aim with the Cuticura Soap, nnd anointing them with the Cuticura Ointment, and tlien gave him the Cuticura Resolvent, in about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. So we have lots of cause for feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are a valuable household standby, living as w do twelve miles from a doctor.
