Cracked and Bleeding Ilchinf Unbw abr Cured by Ctrtkura m Thirty Days at Cost of $4.75. ANOTHER WONDERFUL GURE BY CUTICURA "I m afflicted -witk psoriasis for tMrty-fiva years. It was in patches all otsc Bay body. I used three cakes soap, sec oozea Cuticura Oiat ment, and two bottles of Cuti csra Resolvent. I bathed with the Soap, applied the Ointment oa-ee s day, and took the Kesolvent as di rected. In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. "The psoriasis first made its appaar ance in red- spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center aspot about the tizQ of a slver dollar of sound fleh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of a white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oQ to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and & light discharge of bloody subs tan ca would ooze out. That scaly cruet would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, al though it was in Epots all over my body, alo on my scalp. If I -let the scales remain too long without remov ing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. I suffered intense itching, worse at nights af tor getting warm in bed, or blood warm y exercise, when it would be almost unbearable.
