BURNING ECZEMA.

Itching Oozing Sores J. W. Shcllard, of Gisborne, Blood Reeking with Poison Seven Years of Agony Doctors Couldn't Cure Him No Skin Disease Now Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "Thsro is hardly anyone connected with this church, from tho minister down, that docs not know how I suffered from Eczema," said J W. Shellard, of the Church of England, Gisborno. "For seven long years, I had this vile skin disease in its worst form. I was ono mass of itching burning sores from head to foot. At ono time I was so bad that I couldn't 'do a stroke of work for seven weeks at a stretch. Every spare penny I had went on drugs and doctors — but not one of them did me any real good till I struck Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. It took sixteen boxes of them to cure me — but they cured mo for good, as you can see for yourself." Everyone in Gisborno knows Mi-. Shellard > as the honest old verger of the parish church. For twenty-four years ho has lived there, respected by all. Among the old residents of Christchurch, Lyttelton and Hokitika, he is known just as well and as favourably. Ho is a man who would never lend his name to any 'statement that was not true to the last word. _ "My blood must have been in a horrible state to mako the Eczema break out on mo tho way it did," said Mr. Shellard. "From tho crown of my head to th 9 soles of my feet, I was on fire with it. Often I nearly went niad with the burning and itching. Thero wasn't an inch of my body that was not in agony with tho sores. Every week I coujd feel a fresh lot of hard pimplss pushing their way up through the skin. < Then the skin cracked and the sores started to oozo and itch. I could 'not keep from scratching 1 myself . Sometimes 1 felt that I could havo torn my flesh to pieces. Half of my body was covered with the dry scales of tho old sores — and everywhere el so there wpre new sores bursting and festering. All my skin was raw, and burning like fury. For sevon weeks, I could not show my face outside the house. "I don't think thero was 'a single euro that I didn't try — but none of them did mo any real good," Mr. Shellard went on to say. "Even sulphur would not drive the disease out of my blood. As for patent soaps and ointments, the sores only thrived on them. They got so bad that I called in one doctor after another, but tho best of them could not cure me. I went to the Nuhaka Hot Springs, but when I camo away tho Eczema was worse than ever. My whole health suffered. I couldn't eat and I couldn't sleep. I was nothing more than a wreck. In spite of doctors and medicines, tho Eczema kept spreading. You never saw such a terrible sight as I was. Whan tho sores were fresh, my flesh was all red and swollen. The itching nearly drove me frantic, till at last my nerves broke down. I grew thinner and weaker every months Life wasn't worth living when I had to face this agony day. in and day out. "J had given up all hope, before I tried Dr. Williams' Pink .Tills," added the old verger. "1 would never havo spent another penny on medicine if I hadn't heard how they cured another caso tho very sams as mine. Thon I mado up my mind to givo them a fair trial, and 'got half-a-dozen boxes. Beforo the first box was finished, my appetite picked up. That showed that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were suited to my caso. Every box nftcr that helped me along. The burning and the itching wasn't half so bad. Littlo by little, tho Eczema began to give way. The sores healed up and left a clean skin behind them. Thero .vao no fresh crop of pimples to break out. I was doing no well that I got another supply ofDr. Williams' Pink Pills. I kept on with them until my_ blood was just as Healthy and my skin just as clean as any man could wish. It took sixteen boxes to cure me," added Mr. Shellard. "but If havo not had a single trace of Eczema from that day to this — ?o it's clear that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills havo curod me for good." Thero could be no greater proof about | the power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a blood medicine.
