I had a number of skin tumours small ones on my arms which had never given me serious trouble ; but about two years ago one came on my throat. At first it was only about as Urge as a pinhcad, but, as it was in. a position where my collar, if not just right, would irritate it, it soon became very sensitive and began to grow rapidly. Last spring it was as large, if not larger, than a bean. A little unusual irritation of my collar started it to swelling, and in a day or two it was as large as half an orange. I was very much alarmed, and was at a loss to de termine whether it was a carbuncle or a malignant tumour. " My friends tried to persuade me to consult my physician ; but dread ing that he would insist on using the knife, I would not consent to go. Instead I got a small bottle of CuticunSResolvent and a box of Cu ticura Ointment I took the former according to directions, and spread a thick layer of ttWointment on a linen cloth and placed it on the swelling. On renewing it I would bathe my neck in very warm water and Cuticura Soap. In a few days the Cuticura Ointment had drawn the swelling to a head, when it broke. Every morning it was opened with a large sterilized needle, squeezed and bathed, and Yresh Ointment put on. Pus and blood, and a yellow, cheesy, tumorous matter came out In about three or four weeks' time this treatment completely eliminated boil and tumour.

" About five or six years ago my sister had a similar experience. She had two large lumps come under her right arm, the result of a sprain. They grew rapidly, and our physi cian wanted to cut them out. I would not listen to it, and she tried the Cuticura Remedies (as I did a few months ago) with magical effect. In six weeks' time the lumps had entirely disappeared, and have never returned. " 1 have great faith in the Cuticura Remedies, and I believe they might be a efficacious in similar cases with other people, and thus save much suffering, and perhaps life. I have derived so much benefit from the use of them myself that I am constantly advising others to use them. Re cently I recommended them to an office boy for his father, who was dis abled with salt rheum. The man's feet were swollen to an enormous ize, and he had not worked for six weeks. Two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment worked a perfect cure. You never saw a more grateful man in your life. 'I am very much in terested in another case where I have recom mended Cuticura just now. My housemaid's mother has a goitre which had reached a very dangerous point The doctor told her that nothing could be done ; that she could live only two or three weeks, and that she would die of strangulation. She was confined to her bed, and was unable to speak, when her daughter, at my suggestion, tried the effect of the Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent. Strange to my, Bhe was f ery shortly relieved of the most distressing symptoms. The swelling seemed to be exteriorized, and h i now able to be around her house, and can talk as well as ever. " It seems to me that I have pretty good ground for believing that Cuticura Remedies will prove suc cessful in the most distressing forms of blood and skin humours, nd if yon wish to use my testimonial a herein indicated, I am willing that yott hould do so, with the further privilege of revealing my name and address to such persons as may wish to substantiate the above state ment by personal letter to me."
