CURED AT CITY MISSION.
Young Woman Found in Awful Condition with Scabies — Body a Mass of Sores from Scratching —Treated for Seven Weeks, but Itching Tortures Yielded Only to Cuticura-
" A young woman came to our city mission in a most awful condition physically. One doctor examined her and told us that she had scabies :the itch), incipient ppresis, rheumatism, etc., brought on from exposure. Her poor body was a mass of sores from scratching and she was not able to retain solid food. We worked hard over her for seven weeks, but we could see little improvement. One day I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and we bathed our patient well and gave her a full dose of the Resolvent. She slept better that night and the next day 1 got a box of Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks tin's young woman ■was able to look for a position, and is now strong and well. Laura .lane Bates, -13(5, Fifth Aye., New York, N.Y., U.S.A., Mar. 11, 1907."
