ITCHING SKIN SORES.

J. W. Shellard, of Gisborne Blood Reeking with Poison Seven Years of Agony Doctors Couldn't Cure Him No Eczema Now Dr. Williams 9 Pink Pills. “There Is hardly anyone runner Ic« I with this church, from the minister down, that does not know how I suffered fr* in Eczema.” said J. W. Sheila rd. of the Church of England, Gisborne. “For seven long years, I hid this vile skin disease in Its worst form. I was one mass of Itching burning sores from head to foot. At one time I was so bad the* I couldn’t do a stroke of work for seven weeks at a stretch. Every spare penny I had went on drugs and doctors—but none of them did me any real good till I struck Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for I’ale People. It took sixteen boxes of them to cure me-but they cured mo for good, as you can see for yourself.” Everyone in Gisborne knows Mr. Shotlard as the honest old verger of the parish church. For twenty-four years he has lived there, respected by all. Among the old residents of Christchurch. Lyttelton, Hokitika, lie is known just as well and as favourably. lie is a man who would never lend his name to any statement that was not true to the last. word. “My blood must have been In a horrible state to make the Eczema break out on me the way it did.” said Mr. Shellard. “From the crown cf my head to the soles of my feet, I was on fire with it. Often I nearly went mad with the burning and itching. There wasn’t an inch of my body that was not in agony with the sores. Every week I could feel a frosh lot of hard pimples pushing their way up through the skin. Then the skin cracked and the sores started to ooze and itch. I could not keep from scratching myself. Sometimes I felt that I could have torn my flesh to pieces. Half my body was covered with the dry scales of the old sores—and everywhere else there were new sores bursting and festering. All my skin was raw. and burning like fury. For seven weeks I could not show my face outside the house. “I don’t think there was a single cure that I didn’t try—but none of them did me any real good.” Mr. Shellard went on to say, “Even sulphur would not drive the disease out of my blood. As for patent soaps and ointments, the sores only thrived on them. They got so bad that I called in one doctor after another, but the best of them could not cure me. I went to the Nuhaka Hot Springs, but when I came away the Eczema was worse than ever. My whole health suffered. I couldn’t cat and I couldn’t sleep. I was nothing more than a wreck. In spite of doctors and medicines, the Eczema kept spreading. “I had given up all hope before I tried Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills,” added the old verger. “I would never have spent another penny on medicine if I hadn’t heard how they cured another case the very same as mine. Then I made up my mind to give them a fair trial, and got half-a-dozen boxes. Before the first box was finished, my appetite picked up. That showed that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills wore suited to my case. Every box after that helped me along. The burning and the itching wasn’t half so bad. Little by little, the Eczema began to give way. The sores healed up and left a clean skin behind them. There was no fresh crop of pimples to break out. I was doing so well that I got another supply of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I kept on with them until my blood was just as healthy and my skin just ns clean as any man could wish. It took sixteen boxes to cure me,” added Mr. Shellard, “but I have not had a single trace of Eczema from it hat day to this—so It’s clear that Dr. ■Williams’ Pink Tills have cured me for good.” Remember, I>r. Williams' Pink Tills don’t act on the bowels. Neither do (hey tinker with mere symptoms. They will cure no disease that is not caused by bad blood.
