AWFU L SUF FERING From Dreadftil Pains from Wound on Foot—system All Ran Down-MU rnruloiiM Care by L'utienrn. "Words cannot speak highly enough for the Cuticura Remedies. I am now seventy- two years of age. My system had been all rim down. My blood was so bad that blood poisoning bad set in, I had several doctors attending me, so finally I went to the hospital, where I was laid up for two mouths. My foot and ankle were almost beyond recognition. Dark blood flowed out of wounds in many places, and I was so disheartened that I thought surely my last chance was slowly leaving me. As the foot did not improve, you can readily imagine how I felt. I was simply disgusted nnd tired of life. I stood this pain, which was dreadful, for six months, and during this time 1 was not able lo wear a shoe and not able to work. Some one spoke to me about Cuticura. The con- sequences were I bought a set of the Cuti- cura Remedies of one of my friends, who was a druggist, and the praise that I gave after the second application is beyond de- scription; it seemed n miracle, for the Cuticura Remedies took effect immedi- ately. I washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before applying the Ointment, and I took the Resolvent at the same time. After two weeks' treatment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during my illness, and who have seen it since the -;urc. can hardly believe their own eyes. Robert Schoenhaucr, Ncw- burgh, N. Y., Aug. 21, 1005."
