JOHNSTOWN’S AWFUL EXTENT OF THE DELUGE. —a—_—_ RECOVERING AND IDENTIFYING THE BODIES. —_————— Sad Stories Told by Those who Escaped the Flood and Fire—Ghouls Plunder the Dead of Their Jewelry and Val- uables—Summary Punishment Visited Upon an Offender—Relief Sent to the Suftering—Floods in Maryland and Virginia. HORROR. —_—o—— Fifteen thousand strangers crowded Johns- town, the scene of the disaster, yesterday, and 600 bodies have been collected. Several van- dals, caught removing jewelry from the dead bodies of women and children along the river, were put to death by indignant citizens. ‘ Conemaugh lake and reservoir was 14 miles above Jobustown. It was the property of a number of wealthy gentlemen in Pittsburg. who constituted a corporation called the South Fork Fishing and Hunting cluy The sheet of water was situated in the mountains from 200 to 300 feet above the level of Johnstown, was 3 miles in length, from one toone and a-quarter thiles in width, and in some | eps said to be 100 feet deep. The original lake had been quad- rupled in size by artificial means, and was held im check by a dam from 700 to 1,000 feet wide. The dam was 9 feet in thickness at the base, with a height of 110 feet and a breadth of over 20 feet at the top. The great body of water in the lake had been swollen by the continuous tains. and finally swept away the immense dam which had been built to restrain is and rushed in a mighty and irresistible flood upon the country below it, growing im volume and —<— as it joined the Conemaugh creek and the already swollen streams along which it poured, THE COURSE OF THE FLOOD led it most of the way through a narrow V- shaped valley. Four miles below the dam and 10 miles above Johnstown lay the town of South Fork, at the junction of asmall stream with Conemaugh creek. It had a population of about 1,400. Three miles below South Fork was Mineral Point, a cluster of workingmen’s houses about half the size. Neither of these towns was part of Jobustown. Conemaugh, 10 miles below the lake and 4 miles above Johnstown, was the largest village on the creek between the reservoir and Johnstowh. It is often spoken of as part of Johnstown, though its railroad station is two or three miles ‘up the creek from the Johnstown station. The streets of the two towns ran into each other, a space between the two stations was well built up along the creek. art of the Cambria iron and steel company’s works were at Conemaugh, and five or six thousand of the workingmen and their families lived there. BETWEEN CONEMAUGH AND JOHNSTOWN BOROUGH was a string of tenements along the river which was called Woodvale. Possibly 3,000 workmen lived in them. Farther down were Johnstown and its cluster of sister towns, Cambria City and Conemaugh borough. with a total popula- tion of about 30.000. Johnstown was in the southwest part of Cambria county, at the forks where Stony creek and Conemaugh creek form the Conemaugh river. It was ou the Pennsyl- vania railroad. 39 miles southwest of Altoona and 78 miles east of Pittsburg. The people of the town were the employes of the Cambria iron and steel company. their families and small storekeepers. Three-quarters of the opulation lived in smali frame tenement | saree on the flats by the river around the works of the Cambria compeny. The Cambria company owns almost all the land, and the business and professional men and the superin- tendents of the company lived om the hills away up from the creeks. The creeks become the Conemaugh river right at the end of the town, near where the big stone Pennsylvania railroad bridge crosses the river. THREE STAGES OF THE DISASTER. There were three stages or divisions in the fateful course of the disaster—the flood caused by heavy rains, the breaking of a huge tumber beom on Stony creek, and, most destructive of all. the giving way of the Conemaugh lake em- bankment. The flood due tothe storm appears to have been almost at its beight at about 1 o’clock on Friday afternoon. Then the lumber boom on Stony creek was torn away, and the enormous mass of logs. hurled down the stream and over the submerged district of the doomed ¢ity. tore away the houses as though they had been built of cards. While this work of de- struction was still going on there came down the valley of Conemaugh creek, almost without warning. a towering mass of rushing water Sema tie: Wank Gohauinatad aa Cootaes agh Jake, which swept with resisticss force over the remaining houses and buried them under fathoms of water or carried them at ouce down the stream. From Johnstown the flood swept on down the Conemaugh river td Sheridan, Sang Hol- low, 12 miles below John<town. Nineveh, Lock- port, and Bolivar, all of which were inundated, GATHERING THE DEAD, Six hundred bodies are now lying in Johns- town anda large number have already been buried. Four immense relief trains arrived last night, and the survivors are being well eared for. A portion of the police force of Pittsburg and Allegheny are on dut ter order is maintamed than prevailed y day. There is an absence of pillaging.” Com- munication has been restored between Cambria City and Johnstown by a foot-bridge. The Hollow and Jobnstown is going on rapid): and trains will probably be running by to morrow morning. Not less than fifteen thousand strangers are there. The hand- some brick high-school is damaged to fuch an extent that it will have to be re- built. The water attained the height of the window-sills of the second floor. Its upper stories forméd a refuge for many persons. All Saturday afternoon two little girls could be seen at the windows frantically calling for aid. They have spent all the night and the day in this building. cut off from ail aid, with- out food and drinking water. Their cordition was lementable. Late in the evening the children were removed to higher ground and roperly cared for. A number of persons i been taken from this building earlier in the day, but in the excitement the children were forgotten. Morrell institute was a beautiful building, and the old homestead of the Morrell family is totally ruined. The water has weakened t Is and tions to such au extent that t of its collapsing. Many im this building and were saved. FALLING WALLS, Now that the waters have receded, there is great danger from falling walls. All day long took retuge the crashing of walls could be heard across the | river. Before daybreak this morning the sounds could not but make one shudder at the very thoughts of the horrible deaths that awaited many who had eseaped tie de tating flood. Library ball was another of the fine buildings of the many in the city that is destroyed. Of the Episcopal church. not a vestige re. Where ouce it stood there is now a placid lak © parsonage is swept aw: ad the rector the church, Rev. Mr. Dillon, was @rowned. The church was one of the first buildings to fall. It carried with it several of the surrounding houses. Many of them were eceupitd. The viatims were swept into the comparatively still Waters at the bridge, and | there met death either by fire or water. ROBBING THE DEAD. It is difficult to believe that men could be fvand so base as to attempt to despoil the vic- tims of this awful flood, and yet such is the fact. A party of thirteen Huagarians were noticed stealthily picking their way along the temks of the Conemaugh toward Sang Hollow. Suspicious of their purpose, several farmers armed themselves and started in pursuit. Soon ir most horrible fears were realized. The arians were out for plunder. Lying upon the shore, they came wpon the dead and man- gled body of a woman upon whose person there were a number of trinkets of jewelry and two Giamond rings. In their eagerness to secure the plunder the Hungarians got into a squabble, @uring which one of the number severed the finger upon which were the rings and started on « run with his fearful prize. The revolting ature of the deed so wrought upon the pur- suing fatmexs, who by this time were close at band, that they gave immediate chase. of the Hungarians showed tight, but, being outnumbered. were compelled to flee for their lives. Nine of the brutes escaped, but four were literally driven into the surging river and to their death. “LYNCH T. LYNcw TuEM !” Yesterday morning an old railroader who had | walked from Sang Hollow stepped up to a num- ber of men who were congregated on the plat- form station at Curranville, and said: “Gentle- men, had I ashot-gun with me half an hour ago I would now be # murderer, yet with no fear of ever having to suffer for my crime. Two miles work of repairing the tracks between Sang | 1 ™king itself felt. One town is guarded by Some | below here I watched three men going along the banks stealing the jewels from the bodies of the dead wives and of men who have been robbed of all held dear on earth.” He had no sooner ed the last sentence than five burly men, with looks of terrible determination written on their faces, were on their way to the scene of plunder, one with a coil of r over his der and another with a revolver in his hand. In twenty minutes, so it is stated, they had overtaken two of their victims, who were then in the act of cutting pieces from the ears and fingers from the hands of the bodies of two dead women. With revolver leveled at the scoundrels, the leader of the posse shouted: “Throw your hands up or I'll blow your heads off.” With blanched faces and trembling forms eared the order, and begged for mercy. ey were searched, and as their pockets were oe of their ghastly finds the indignation of the crowd intensified. and when a bloody finger of an infant encircled with two tiny gold rings was found among the plunder in the leader's pocket acry went up: “Lynch them! Lynch them!” Without 2 moment's delay ropes were thrown around their necks, and they were dangling to the limbs of a tree m the brauches of which an hour before was entangled the bodies of a dead father and son. After the expiration of a half hour the ropes were cut and the bodies lowered and carried toa pile of rocks in the forest on the hill top. It is hinted that an Allegheny county official was one of the most prominent factors in this justifiable homicide. DELAYED PASSENGERS AT ALTOONA. The superintendent at Altoona says that the Atlantic express leaving Pittsburg at 3 a.m. Friday, the Chicago and New York limited (eastbound) which left Pittsburg at 0 Friday morning, and the seashore express which left Johnstown early Friday morning arrived at Altoona Saturday afternoon. All the passeng- erson those three trains are reported to be well. Altoona sends a list of passeagers on the day express from Chicago, which was caught in the flood at Conemaugh, and who are known to be safe. Among them are William Henry Smith, New York; Mrs. Mary L. Crowne, Huston Porter, Mrs. E. W. Halford and daughter and Mr. Frank Hatton. RELIEF FROM PITTSBURG. Early yesterday morning seven carloads of | Provisions left the Union depot at Pittsburg for Johnstown on a special train, Many cars loaded with provisions, bedding, &c., are ar- riving from points west, north, and south, and are being rapidly forwarded to the scene of disaster. A scene of activity was presented at the chamber of commerce. A number of gentle- men of the relief committee were present re- ceiving telegrams, official and private, from towns and cities in this and other states, re- ceiving contributions of money from authori- ties and individuals, and answering questions for those who came to seek information. A special train conveying two fire engines hose carriages, with a full quota of firemen, left about noon for Johnstown, Twenty-eight policemen of the Pittsburg force accompanied them, under command of Inspector McAleese. ‘The coffin manufacturers are worked to their fullest capacity, and coffins are being shipped rapidly. This morning ten car-loads were sent down, containing 2,200 coffins, They will be distributed at various points along ‘the river where the dead have been collected, CONTRIBUTIONS BEING RAISED. Philadelphia yesterday morning started in to send her share to the sufferers by the awful disaster at Johnstown, and before night had fallen it is estimated that fully 200,000 in money, clothing and provisions had been col- 1 |. Headed by many wealthy citizens there was started at Mayor Fitler’s house, on Walnut street, a subscription list, which will before the week is ended probably carry upon it the names of persons giving more money to the needful than hasever been raised for the victims of any calamity by the City of Brotherly Love. Gov. Foraker has sent the following dispatch to the governor: ‘Please name some one to receive our finan- cial contributions for Johnstown sufferers. We will send clothing and other supplies to mayor of Johnstown unless you otherwise direct.” Mayor Hart, of Boston, has telegraphed the governor: “What can Boston do for the Pennsylvania sufferers?” Gov. Beaver has telegraphed Rot Maloney, superintendent of the state arsenal, telling him to get tents ready to accommodate the Johns- town sufferers as soon as railroad communica- tion is restored, Sight-Seers Stay at Home. A Pittsburg special to the New York Herald says the following telegram from Jobnstown has been received: ‘For God's sake tell the sight-seers to keep away from Johnstown for the present, What we want is people to work, not to look on. Citizens’ CommitTee.” ‘Three trains have already been sent out with crowded cargoes of sight-scers, At every sta- tion along the road excited crowds are waiting for an opporturiity to get aboard. WOULD HAVE BEEN MOBBED, That's what would have happened to the owners of South Fork if they had put im an ap- pearance. There is great indignation among the People of Johnstown at the wealthy Pittsburgers who own South Fork, They blame them severely for having maintained such a frightfully dan- gerous institution there. The feeling among | the people was intense. If any of the owners | of the dam had put in an appearance in Johns- | town they would have heen lynched. The dam has been a constant menace to this valley ever since it has been in existence, and | the feeling, which has been bitter enough on the occasion of every flood hitherto, after this horrible disaster is now at fever heat. Gen. Hastings in Command. Adjutant-Gen. Hastings, N. G. P., and Major nger have assumed charge of Johnstown. Nothing is legal unless it bears Gen. Hastings’ signature. One effect of this systematic work company H, of the 6th regiment. Lieut. Leg- gett is in command. New members were sworn in by him, and they are making excellent sol- diers, Special police are numerous, and the regulations are so strict that even the smoking of a cigar is prohibited. Gen. Hastings ex- presses the opinion that more troops are neces- sar, Alex. Hart is in charge of the special police, He has lost his wife and family. Not- withstanding his great misfortune he is doing the work of a Hercules in his own way. ‘The unruly element has been put down and order is now perfect. The citizens’ committee are in charge and have matters well organized. A proclamation has just been issued that all men who are able to work must report for work or leave the place. “We have too much to do to support idlers,” say the committee, ‘and will not abuse the gencrous help that is being sent by doing so.” From to-morrow all will be | at wor! Money now is greatly needed to meet the heavy pay-rolls that will be incurred for the next two weeks, W. C. Lewis, chairman of the finance committee, is ready to receive the same. Twenty-five More Lives Lost. Sunbury, Pa., was flooded all yesterday. The er reached the top of the embankments | early in the morning, and at 7:30 broke in the | fifth and third wards. The entire population was up the entire night moving to the second stories. The water reached the highest point | at 9:30, which was within eight inches of the flood of 1865. At 12 o'clock it began to recede. All bridges are down from there to Williams- jack railroad and wagon. Three men from not less than $500,000. At eastof Knorvill igvilings! the who! was inun- dated. All the residents of the fled for safety to the hillsides with such of their house- hold effects as they could take with them. The —— sufferers in a business way will be jor ‘dan, Crampton & Co., Wm. Gross, and Sam- uel Wenner. At Point of Rocks nearly all the buildings on the low ands were submerged, ard much loss and suffering was experienced. Near the tunnels there were several heavy landslides also which. covered the tracks toa great depth. Four of the spans of the new iron bridge across the Potomac, just finished on Wednesday, were swept out. EIGHT LIVES Lost. The people are still encamped on the hills, and the river presents a scene of terrific gran- deur. A report came last night that eight lives were lost there in the flood. Four of the vic- tims, two women and two men, were coo} upir one house. Finally it gave way before the pressure of the water and the inmates were lost. There is great damage done in the town. A CHURCH SUBMERGED. - The Catholic church at Point of Rocks stands about 500 feet from the river. Yesterday the water was up to the eaves of the roof. _The loss sustained by the destruction of four piers of the newiron bridge Point of Rocks will amount to from $10,000 to 215,000. The upper portion of Anne Arundel county and the eastern part of Howard county, Md., appear to have been quite fortunate. ile in other sections of Maryland there was great devastation, at no time was the storm so severe as to drive the strawberry pickers from their work, A Patapsco Freshet. The Patapsco was a rushing flood on Satur- day, but it has now receded somewhat. Nothing since the flood of '68 equals this. All communications further west by rail are cut off. Half the bridge over the river at Gray’s is carried away. The contents of dwellings were removed. John U. O'Brien's saloon and the Veterinary Ba es were swept down the stream. The wooden bridge at Hood’s mills was swept away. The only death caused La the freshet yet reported is that of William ludson, a flour packer at Orange Grove, below Ilchester, As he was returning across the Susquehanna bridge, it was struck by a huge log and broken. His helpless friends saw man and bridge swept away, At Gaithers’ a portion of a freight train was rolled over by the track being undermined. At Harper's Ferry the railroad bridge has been loaded with locomotives to make it solid and able to withstand any damage from ferryboats, ete. At Point of Bocks the tracks are submerged, and river and canal are one. Virginia’s Loss, At Fredericksburg, Va., the water has fallen low enough to see the dam above town. Gate- houses, lock-gates and waste-ways and gates have been swept away. About eight acres of Beck’s Island has been carried off by the flood, Bridgewater mills, elevators, rollers, burrs, office, and cooper shops have been swept away. Knox Brothers’ bone and sper | mills are rapidly falling in. The electric light plant power will have to be replaced, as their dyna- mos are completely wrecked. The Germania flour mills’ motive power has also been de- stroyed. Taylor’s cliffs have fallen in and filled the canal at that point. Banki the canal at the dam have been swept away. The water power conduit through the lower part of the city has broken through. No ser- vices could be held im the churches to-night, as there was no light in the city. . At Hunter’s Island the scene is a desolate one. This flood has done more damage than those of 1856, 1857. 1870, 1874 and 1879 put together. Never in the history of this city has destruction been so great by water. correct estimate can be given of losses, RICHMOND ALMOST ISOLATED. The James river is on a big rampage, and Richmond is almost as completely isolated from the outside world as she was during some por- tions of the wer. Apprehensions of a freshet equal to that of 70 and "77 proved to be well founded. On all railroads there have been serious washouts and damage. The lower por- tion of the city is completely submerged, and boatmen have been doing a thriving business for two days traversing the streets, PETERSBURG PARTLY UNDER WATER, It is nearly forty years since Petersburg had its last big flood. It occurred on March 9, 1851, but it was small in comparison with what has been experienced yesterday and to-day, The violent rains sent the Appomattox in a boom. The earliest damage was from the bursting of the receiving reservoir at the water-works, The whole lower part of the city is under water. Every bridge but one span- ing the river, including the Atlantic coast line trestle, is swept away, and all railroad com- munication north and south is suspended and probably will remain so for a day or two. No accurate estimate of the losses by the floodcan be made, but it is not exaggerated if placed at 100,000, see THE FLOOD AT ALEXANDRIA. The Damage Will Not Exceed $2,500. The Potomac made an advance in force and all along the line at Alexandria, All the stores on the river side and on King and other central streets to half way between Union and Lee streets were invaded, and the water stood four feet deep in the restaurants of Barsart and Schneider, at King-street dock. The town was isolated the entire Sunday, the flood prevent- ing transportation by land aud the currents any movement of the steamers, so that Alexandria was without its usual crowd of Washingtonians, The ferry steamers, however, resumed their trips at 6 o'clock this morning and carried crowds to Washington, The whole business on the river side Union street and at the east end of all the other streets is clearing out the mud and slime left by the flood. The loss has been slight considering the extent of the freshet and will not exceed $2,500 in all; but the mer- — had full notice aud prepared for the 1001 FIRE AMID THE WATER. About daybreak Sunday morning the watch- ers of the rising river were amazed to see the frame freight honse on Reed's wharf, between King and Prince street, and surrounded by two feet of water, burst into a liquid blaze. No one was near it at the time nor had it been used for several days, The fire bells brought the engine Columbia, and although the firemen had to work in the midst of the freshet, they endeavored to extinguish the flames, but the house was wrecked. A guess at the origin of the fire is that a barrel with some quicklime must have been among the old stores kept in the house. The loss did not exceed $200: UP IN A TREE ALL NIGHT. Mr. Geo. Peveril, living near Alexandria, was caught at Cameron run by the rising flood, but he climbed a large tree and remained in its branches all night, and was rescued in the morning. W. M. Suvsrer & Soxs WILL OPEN ON MONDAY, JUNE 3p 100 PIECES BEST FRENCH SATEENS AT 20c. Williamsport reported the loss of twenty-five lives at that place of persons who were watching a bridge collapse. In Western Maryland. From Westminster it is learned that the | county bridges over Pope’s creek were badly damaged, and the one at Trevanion was washed away with Geo, Derrick, whose body has not yet been recovered. Damage to houses and farm products has been very great. At Hagers- town twenty-three houses are gone. Deffen- dale’s mill dam has been carried away and the loss will aggregate #50.000. In Frederick and the county the water was the highest ever known, and $100,000 will not cover the loss. At tiarper’s Ferry itis known that all the stock of the Shenandoah Pulp company was washed out. aud the warehouse of the mill owned by the x's Ferry Mill company. It was also re that a number of coal hop- rs had been washed off the Winchester trest- ing. On the Maryland side of the Potomac bridge there was considerable destruction of | property. including the lock-honse building, } owned by the canal company, the house in | which the canal employes were fed, the bridge across the canal, the bridge across the outlet lock, anda large building used by A. Spencer & Co. asa general store. A canal-boat, containing abont 4,000 bushels of wheat, was with great difficulty out into the county road and secured with ropes in the hope = it might be saved. At 4 p.m. yesterday the water at Ferry was7 feet higher than in 1852.

Correspondence of Tax Eventxo Stan Rocxviize, June 2, 1889, Boatmen passing through here this report that the Chesapeake and Ohio canal is injured beyond repair by the flood of Friday and Saturday. At the “Log Wall Level,” a short distance below Great Falls, several houses of the lock-keeper’s have been swept away, and the damage done along the whole line isso serious as to require the expenditure of many thousands of dollars to repair the loss. The chances for the resumption of business on the canal looks gloomy, and the prospect for railroad along that route fs one of the things to be taken into future calculations. The West Virginia Central railroad, with the powerful in- fluence of Messrs. Blaine, ge ieee Gorman and Whyte will no doubt be able to have some weight in the next legislature of ‘land in securing the franchises of that work, in which the state has an immense monied inter- est. Recent advices show that the county has suf- fered greatly by the flood, and that all the bridges over the principal streams have been swept . The roads in many localities are impassable, and it will require a heavy outla: to putthem in condition. Private individ in various parts of the county have suffered large losses in the drowning stock, washing out of the corncrop, and injury to the growing wheat. One lady, living near Edwards’ Ferry, lost 46 head of fine cattle, which were grazing near the river, Se C. Jones, esq., as trustee for the heirs of the late Jno. Brewer, yesterday sold to Miss Agnes J. Matlock, a lot of ground, containing about one acre, near the fair grounds, at this place, for $350. Mr. Harry Lambert, a railroad hand engaged in repairing the track at Rock creek bridge, fell from the high embankment at that point Saturday ht and fractured his skull. His home is at Wheaton, on the 7thstreet pike. At last accounts he was still living, with but little eo of his recovery. lessrs, Peter & Henderson, as trustees, have sold two more lots of the farm of the late John C. Wilson, near Sligo, on the 7th street pike, one to Henny J. Finley, for $3,450, and the other to Wm. T. Garrison, for $600. About 30 acres of this farm have been sold recently for suburban homes, the amount of the sales reaching about $10,000. A few years ago this land could have been bought at low figures. Miss Grace Knight, of this place, returned home this week after an absence of several moaths spent with her brother in Montana, Mrs. Ruth E. Connell, of this county, has been granted a divorce by the circuit court from her husband, 8, 8.

How the Country was Inundated— Bridges and Crops Ruined. Correspondence of Tae Evinino STAR: Buapenssura, June 2, Bladensburgers were under the impression that the freshet here last month was one of some pretensions, but the flood of yesterday and to-day throws that little affair completely in the shade, and altogether beats the record in this locality. The water rose about 18 inches higher than the point reached in the recent freshet, and has pretty well depopulated the main street of the town, the lower stories of the houses being submerged. The highest point was reached about midnight last night, the water covering, it is said, the floor of the bridge between Bladensburg and Hyattsville. Again at noon to-day it was almost as high. The people, asa rule, remained in the upper stories of their houses yesterday and last night, but to-day the majority ofthem have yielded to the inevi- table, and sought higher and dryer quarters elsewhere. Some suffering has beea caused from the fact that many of the people are with- out food,and have to be supplied, by the charity of their neighbors, in boats, Every boat in the town has been continually on the go for the past two days, and rough rafts have been con- structed, in many cases by those who have found it necessary to make frequent trips from their houses to dry land. No mails have been received since Friday. ‘The water was above the counters in Lynch’s store, spoiling the greater part of his groceries. In Spicer’s the men stayed all Friday night and managed to get the goods out of the reach of the tide. The fences, many of which have been rebuilt since last month’s freshet, are again washed away, The neighboring bridges aud culverts are washed away or badly damaged. The bridges on the northwest branch at Beale’s and Riggs’ mill are gone, and those on the Sligo, at the mill, andthe Eastern branch, at Benning, are so damaged as to be useless, Hundreds of acres of hay, rye and other crops are ruined. The gardens all along the Eastern branch flats are washed away. The loss to farmers and truckers is serious and beyond repair. The road-bed of the Shepherd’s branch railroad is torn up. A large repair force has been at work on it since yesterday morning. A party from this place rowed into Washington this morning, passing over meadows and fields and_tree-tops.. They report passing a stable on 3d street southeast in which were six horses drowned in their stalls, Grear Har Sure at KK 1 NNN Goo ™ KK HO NNN @ 6 " S53 BH ERE Goo Rc HON ‘ede Bag8 PPP A L A cco REE Pop AA OL ARB CO EF Pro Ma © ka go Be Pp a A LiL 4 4 CoO EEE Y 814 Seventh Street Northwest.

BALLANTYNE & SON'S, 408 77H ST, Pimples to Scrofula Every humor from pimples to scrofula, except ichthyosis, is speedily, permanently, and economically cured by the Crriccra REMEDIES, This is strong language, but true. It will en- courage thousands of hopeless sufferers who have tried and found wanting both physicians and medicines, to make one more effort to rid themselves of these terrible afflictions, Ovricurns is the only positive cure. Cured by For three years Iwas almost crippled with an @wful sore leg from my knee down to my ankle; | the skin was entirely gone and the flesh was one mass of disease. Some physicians pronounced itincurable. Ithad diminished about one-third the size of the other, and I was in a hopeless con- | dition. After trying alt kinds of remedies and spending hundreds of dollars, from which I got no relief whatever, I was persuaded to try your CUTI- CURA REMEDIES, and the result was as follows: After three days I noticed a decided change for the better, and at the end of two months I wascom- pletely cured. My flesh was purified, and the bone (which had been exposed for over a year) got sound. The flesh began to grow, and to-day, and | for nearly two years past, my leg is as well asever, sound in every respect, and not a sign of the dis- ease to be seen. 8. G. AHERN, Dubois, Dodge Co., Ga Skin Diseases Tcontracted a terrible blood-poisoning a year ago. I doctored with two good physicians, neither of whom did me any good. I suffered alla man can suffer and live. Hearing of your Crricura Reweptes I concluded to try them, knowing if they ‘did me no good they could make me no worse. I have been using them about ten weeks, and am most happy tosay that I am almost rid of the aw- ful sores that covered my face and body. My face was as bad, if not worse, than that of Miss Boyn- ton, spoken of in your book, andI would say to any one in the same condition, to use CUTICURA, and they will surely be cured. You may use this letter in the interests of suffering humanity. E. W. REYNOLDS, Ashland, Ohio. Cuticura Tocleanse the skin, scalp, and blood of humors, Dlotches, eruptions, sores, scales, and crusts, whether simple, scrofulous, or contagious, no ‘agency in the world of medicine is so speedy, sure, and economical as the CUTICURA REMEDIES.
