Sometimes Three Fingers Without Nails at One Time. Began 25 Years Ago. No Permanent Cure. Began to Use Cuticura Soap and Ointment. In a Short Time Nails Were Well. No Further Trouble. •'I have suffered from the same trouble [painful finger nails] at different periods of mv life. The first time of its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five years ago, after trying home remedies without getting helped, I asked my doctor to prescribe for me, but it was not for a year or more that my nails and lingers were well. The inflammation and suppuration began at the base of the hnger nail Sometimes it. was so painful that l had to use a poultice to induce suppuration. Alter the pus was discharged the swel'ing would go clown until the next period of Inflammation, possibly not more than a week or two afterwards. These frequent inflammations resulted in the loss ot the nail. J. had sometimes as many as three lingers m this state at one time. “Perhaps ten years later, I began again to suffer from the same trouble. Again 1 tried various remedies, among them a prescription from a doctor ol a lyend of mine, who had suffered Irom a like trouble, fills scorned to help somewhat lor n time, but it was not a permanent cure, next tiled a prescription from my own doctor, but this was so irritating to the sensitive, di.-.cased skin that I could not use it. 1 began to use Culicura Soap and Ointment. I had used the Culicciia Ointment previously on my childrens scalps with good effect. I did not n c c the Soap exclusively, but I rubbed the Cuticura Ointment into the base of the nail every night thoroughly, and ns often beside ns 1 could. 1 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 ccr»n. One box of Cnticura Ointment mis!! th.pt 1 used In effecting a cure." (cignedi M r “. I. J. T.’-itfon. Kntonab. N.
