ftched Constantly? Scratched Until
Blood Flowed? Suffered 10 Years
?Doctors and Medicines Were
Fruitless? Tries Cuticura and Is
Completely Cured
BY THREE BOXES OF
CUTICURA OINTMENT
"When I was about nine years old
?mall sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs. I scratched them with a
brass pin and
shortly afterwards
both of those limbs
becamo so aore that
I could scarcely
walk. When I had
been suffering for
about a month the
sores began to heal,
but small scaly
eruptions appeared
where the sores had
been. From that
time onward- 1 w an
troubled by such
severe itching that,
until I becamo
accustomoa to it, I wouia sera icq mo
oores until the blood began to flow.
This would stop the itching for a few
days; but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accompany
tnera. After I suffered about ten years
I made a renewed effort to effect a cure.
The eruptions by this time had appeared
on every part of my body except my
face ana hands. The best doctor in my
native county advised mo to use arsenic
in small doses and a salve. I then used
to bathe the sores in a mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In addi
tion I used other remedies, such as iodine,
sulphur, zinc salve, 's Salve,
Ointment, and in fact I was con
tinually giving some remedy a fair trial,
never using less than one or two boxes or
bottles. All this was fruitless. Finally
my hair began to fall out and I - - rapidly
becoming bald. I used 'i ,
but it did no good. A few moiu.ia after
having used almost everything else, I
thought I would try Cuticura Ointment,
having previously used Cuticura Soap
and being pleased with it. After using
three boxes I was completely cured,
and my hair was restored, after fourteen
years of suffering and an expenditure of
at least $50 to $00 in vainly endeavoring
to find a cure. I shall be glad to writo
to any one who may be interested^ in
my cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Ver
million, S. Dak., Aug. 18, 1906."
