PAINFUL FINGER NAILS • . CURED, v

«X -have suffered from the same,, trouble (painful finger nails) at different periods of my - life; The first time of its' occurrence, perhaps, 25 years ago, after- trying homo remedies without gotting. helped, I asked my doctor to prescribe for me, but it was not for a year or more that my nails arid fingers were well. The inflammation and suppuration began at the base of the fiager 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 frequent ' inflammations resulted in the loss of the nail." I had sometimes as many as three fingers in this state at one time. ' • "Perhaps *10 years later I began again to suffer from the same trouble. . Again I tried various remedies, among _ them a- prescription from a doctor of . a friend of mine, who had suffered from a like trouble. This seemed to help somewhat for a time, but it was not a permanent cure. Next tried a proscription from my own doctor,, but this was so irritating to the sensitive, diseased skin that I could not use it. I began to use Cuticura. Soap arid Ointment. I had 'used the Cuticura Ointment previously on my children's scalps with good effect. .1 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. I had not used it but a few weeks before my nails were better, and in a short time, they were apparently well. There was no more suppuration, ■nor inflammation;' ' the - nails grew out clean again. Onei box of Cuticura , Ointment was all that I used in effecting a cure." (Signed) Mrs. I. J. Horton, Katonah, N-.Y., U.S.A., April 13, 1910. On- September ..Hi Mrs. Horton wrote:..
