•'I hare been afflicted for twenty years with an obstinate skin disease, called by some M. D.'s. psoriasis, and others leprosy, commencing on my scalp: and in spite or all 1 could do. with the help of the most skilful doctors, it slowly but surely extended until a. yer«r ago this winter it covered my entire fierssn in the form of dry scales. For the ast three years I have been unable to do any labor, and suffering Intensely all the time. Every morning there would be nearly a dustpanful of scales taken from the sheet on my bed, some of them half a* large as the envelope containing tins letter. In the latter part of winter my skin commenced cracking open. I tried everything, almost, that could be thought of, without any relief. The 12th of June I started West, in hopes I could reach the Hot Springs. I reached Detroit and was low I thought I should have to go to the hospital, but finally got as far as Lansing. Mien., where I had a sister living. One Dr. treated me about two weeks, but did mo no good. All thought I had but a short time to live. I earnestly prayed to die. Cracked through the skin all over my back, across my ribs, arms, hands, limbs; feet badly swollen; toe-nails came off; finger-nails dead and hard as a bone; hair dead, dry and lifeless as old straw. Omy God! how I did suffer. “My sister wouldn't give up, said, ‘We will try Cuticura.' Some was applied on one hand and arm. Eurckal there was relief: slopped the terrible burning sensation from the word go. They immediately got Cuticura Resolvent, Ointment and Soap. I commenced by taking Cuticura Resolvent three times a day after meals; had a bath once a day, water about blood heat: used Cuticura Soap freely; applied Cuticura Ointment morning and evening. Result; returned to my homo in just six weeks from the time I left, and my skin as smooth as this sheet of paper. Hiram E. Carpenter, Henderson, N- Y., U. S.
