The first morning after using it my flesh (I had no skin only onthe end of my nose) was a ink color. Next day it was kind of white, and could place my hands on the sores witnout it being painful. In about two weeks I could stand straight, but not walk, Iwas so weak,® but my sores were nearly well. Then I com menced the use of Cuticura Resolvent, and in three days I was worse than ever. I was one mass of pimples from the topof my head to the seles of my feet; to say they were painfal would not do justice to the case. In from two to four daysthey burst and left a small scale. which dropped off and left the skin pure and white, and as ngar asl can judge I was cured in about ax to eight weeks, and up to this date (i. e. from January, 1879, to January, 1887) I have not been sick in any way, or have had the least signs of the disease reappearing on me Ihave an excellent appetite, have the very ‘ best health.
