HAD FEARFUL SORE HANDS.
"ABOUT eleven years ago I was troubled with sore hands, so sore that when .1 would put them in water tho pain would very nearly set me crazy, tho skin would peel off and tho flesh would get hard, and break. There would be blood flowing from at least fiftv places on each hand. Words could never tell the suffering 1 endured for three years. 1 tried everything that I was told to use for fully three years, but could get no relief. 1 tried at least eight different doctors, but none of them seemed to do mo any good, as my hands were as bad when I cot through doctoring as when I first began. I also tried many remedies, but none of them ever did me one cent's worth of good. I was discouraged and lieartsoro. 1 would feel so bad mornings when I got up, to think I had to go to work and stand the pain for ten hours, and I often felt like giving up my position. " Before I started to work mornings I would have to wrap every finger up .separately, so as to try and keep them soft, and thon woar gloves, over the rags to keep the grease from getting on my work. At night I would have to wear gloves in bed. In fact, I had to wear gloves all the time. After doctoring for three years, and spending much money, a single box of Cuticura Ointment ended all my sufferings. It's been eight years since I used any, and I don't know what sore hands aro now, and never lost a day's work while using Cuticura Ointment. Thomas A. Clancy, 310, N. Mont-gomery-street, Trenton, N.J., U.S.A., Nov. 11, 1909." Reference: li. Towns and Co., Sydney.
