From Dreadful Pains From Wound

After Six Months' Agony? Not

in Two Weeks
MIRACULOUS CURE BY
CUTiCURA REMEDIES |
"Words cannot speak highly enough
for the Cuticura Rimedic,-. I am now I
?eventv-two years of age. My svstem
t;aa oeeu au run ,
down. My blood '
was so bad that |
blood poisoning I
had set in. I had I
several doctors ;
attending me, so
finally I went to
the hospital, where ,
I was laid up for i
two months. My
foot and ankle were !
almost b?yond j
Y7 / recognition. uars :
blood flowed out of wounds in many |
places, and I was so disheartened that
I thought surely my last chance was ,
slowly leaving rae. ' As the foot dii j
not improve, you can readily imagine
how I felt. I was simplv disgusted
and tired of life. I stood this pain, j
which was dreadful, for six months, j
and during this time I was not able to
wear a shoe and not able to work. _ i
"Some one spoke to me about Cuti- j
cura. The consequences were I bought
a set of the Cuticura Remedies of
one of my friends who was a drug
gist, and the praise that I gave after
the second application is beyond i
description : it sc-cmcd a miracle, j
for the Cuticura Remedies took i
effect immediately. I washed the foot
with the Cuticura Soap before applying I
the Ointment and I took the Resolvent
atthesametime. After two weeks' treat- '
men; my foot jvas healed completely.
People who had seen my foot during my !
illness and who have seen it since the
cure, can haruly believe their own eyes."
