A physician was called, he said teething was the cause, he prescribed some cooling medicine, but the sores spread to my ears and head. Another M.D. was called. fe professed to know all about the case, called it " King’s "and prescribed gunpowder, brimstone, and lard mixed into a salve, but the disease continued. ‘I'hey could not do anything with it. Another prescribed borax, water and flour ; another linseed poultices. None of them did me any good'at all, but made me worse. The disease continued unabated ; it spread to my arms and legs, till I was laid up entirely, and from continual sitting on the floor on a pillow my limbs contracted so that I lost all control of the: was utterly helpless. My mother would have to lift and into bed. “I could get around the house on my hands and feet, bat I could not get my clothes on at all, and had to wear @ sort of dressing gown. My hair had all matted down or fallen off, and my head, face and ears were one scab, and U had to have a towel on my bead all the time in the summer to keep the flies off. My parents consulted a co (the other ve, as was of the won- physicians before mentioned were of Dundas and Hamilton, Canada), he said he could do vothing for me, that the chances were tha: I would crow out of it, or that it would strike inwardly and ime, He wanted to cut the sinews of my legs so t) walk, but I would not let him, for if I did get better I would have no control of them. The disease continued in this years old, and ove day in J Tribune, read an account of . They scribed my case so caactly tnat I thought, as a last resort, to give them a trial, When I first applied the Cuvicura, T was all raw and bleeding from scratching myve!!. but when I applied it I went asleep almost im'nediccely. something T had ‘not done for years, the effect was 30 soothing The first morniog after ving it my flesh (T had no skin nose) was a pink color. Next day it was kind of white, aad I could place my hands on the sores without it being painfol: Is about two weeks I could stand straight, but not walk, I yas so weak, but my sores were nearly well, Then I commenced the use of the Curicums Rusotvent, and in three days I was worse than ever. I was one mass of pimples from the top of my head to the soles of my feet; to say they were painful would not do justice to the case. In from two to four days they burst aad Jeft a small scale, which dropped off, and left the spot pare and the skin white, and, as near as l'can judge, 1 was cured in about six to eight weeks, and up to this date (/.¢., from January, 1879, to January, 1887) I have not been sick in any way, or have had the least sigus of the disease reappeariag on me.
