Special Correspondence of Tar EVENING STAR. Wasntnaton Grove Camp, } MoxtGomERy Co., MD., August 22, 1882. The last but one of the days of the meeting at Washington Grove opened with strong indications of rain. These indications developed into a steady rainfall of four fours’ duration, which, while It in- terfered materially with the attendance,served the useful purpose of settling the dust so solidly that it will give no more trouble during the session. Few came tocamp from town or country and the day passed without any special incident to mark its existence. The usual good order prevailed. Some preparations were made for departure. The services were well attended, and, although pro- jected excursions to the springs, or the military mpment were prevented, tbe disappointed seemed to find consolation in religious ex- erciges. SRRVICS. ‘This morning’s prayer meeting was led by Rev. J. H. Ryland. The Rey. W. H. Reed conducted the prayer and experience meeting at 8:30. At 10:30 the Rev. Littleton F.

All seemed interested in the exercises. A ladies’ meeting was held at the Sime hour in the meeting tent on 6{h avenue, and was conducted by Mrs. Bishop Andrews. The subject at these ladies’ meetings generally is that of “The Higher Christian Life.” While the con- gregation were gathering in the tabernacle for the 3 p. m. meeting, the choir sang several choice selections.

D.’s Pyoriasis, and others Leprosy, commencing on my scalp, and, in spite of all Tcould do, with tue help of the most skilful doc- tors, it slowly but surely extended, untii a year ago this winter it covered my entire person in form of dry sealcs. For the last three years I have been unable todo any labor, and suffering intensely all thetime. Every marn- ing there could be nearly a dustpanful of scales taken from the sheet on my bed, some of them half aa large as the envelope containing this letter. In the latter part of the winter my skin commenced cracking open. I tried. everything almost, that could be thought of, without any Telicf.

One Dr. —— treated me about two weeks, but did me no good. AU thought I had but a short time to live. Iearneatly prayed to die. Cracked through the ekin allover my back, across my ribs, arma, hands, Himbe, feet badly swollen, toe nails came off, finger nails dead and hard as bone, hair desd, dry and lifeless as old straw. Ob, my God! how I did suffer! “My sister, Mrs. E. H. Davie, had a small part of a box of Cuticura in the house. She wouldn't give up: said ‘We will try Cuticura.’ Some was applied on one hand andarm. Eureka! there was relief; stopped the terrible burning sensation from the word go. They im- mediately got the Cuticura Resolvent (blood purifier), Cuticura and Cuticura Soap (the great skin cures), I commenced by taking one tablespoonful of Kesolvent three timesaday, after meals; had a bath once a day, ‘water about blood heat; us2d Cuticura Soap freely; sp- plied Cuticura morning and evening.
