HANDS RAW AS BEEF.

"I lIVD blood poison in both my hands. My doctor got the blood poison out all right, but, with the treatment he gave me, all the 'skin came off my hands from my fingerends up to my elbows. They were as raw as beef. I was unable to do any work for about twelve months. The doctor kept mo under his care all these months, but it was not much better in the end. So at. last he told mo he could do no more for me, and I felt very down-hearted, as I thought I was not going to get better. The doctor advised me to go to a skin-specialist, and so I did. When lie looked at my hands lie said it was a very bad case. 1 was under his care for a few months, but I was no better with all his treatment. I gave it up for a bad job, and 1 told my doctor I was getting no better. He recommended ine> 0 the ___ Infirmary to try another skin specialist. I tried his treatment for three months, but found no benefit from it at all. Six years ago I thought I was not going to get. a cure. One day J sent for Outicura Soap and Cuiieura Ointment. After I tried them and say that my hands were coming on first-class I persevered till I got a cure. Now my hands are all right and I am at my usual work."—Mr. William Roberts, 9, Top Row, Plasbenion. near Ruabon. North Wales, Eng., Nov. 12, 1907, and Jan. 29, 1908. Reference: R.
