Sometimes Three Fingers Without Nails at One Time, Began 25 Years Ago. No Permanent Cure. Began to Use Cuticura Soap and Ointment. In a Short Time Nails Were Well. No Further Trouble. ■ a "I have suffered from the same trouble [painful finder nails] at different periods of ray life. The first time of its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five years ago, after trying home remedies v.-ithout getting helped, I asked my doctor to prescribe for mc, but it ■wag not for a year or more that my nails and fingers were well. The inflammation and suppuration began at the base of the finger nail. Sometimes it was so painful that I had to use a poultice to induce suppuration. After the pus was discharged the swelling would go down until the next period of inflammation, possibly not more than a week or two afterwards. These freqnent inflammations resulted in the loss of the nail. I had sometimes as many as three fingers in this state at one time. "Perhaps ten years later, I began again to suffer from the same trouble. Again X tried various remedies, among them a prescription from a doctor of a friend of mmc, who had suffered from a like trouble. This seemed to help somewhat for a time, but it was not a permanent cure, nest tried a prescription from my own doctor, but this was so irritating to the sensitive, diseased skin that I could not use it. I besan to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I had used the Cuticura Ointment previously on my children's scalps with good effect. I did not use the Soap exclusively, but I rubbed the Cuticura Ointment into the base of the nail every night thoroughly, and as often beside as I could. 1 had not used it but a few weeks before my nails were better, and in a short time they were apparently weE. There was no more suppuration, nor inflammation, the nails grew out clean again. One box of Cuticura Ointment was all that I used in effecting a cure." (Signed) Mrs. I. J. Horton, Katonah, N. T..
