Epidemic of Itch in Weish Village.

“In Dowlais, South Wales, about fifteen years ago, families were stricken wholesale by a disease known as the Itch. Believe me, It Is the most terrible disease of Its kind that I know'bf, aa it itches all through your body and makes your life an inferno. Sleep is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you .at the same time. I knew jl dozen families that were sb affected. "The doctors did their best, fiut their remedies were of no avail whatever. Then the families tried a druggist, who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse; as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the CuticUra Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days’ treatment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderful and the result was a perfect cure in all cases. “I may add that my three brokers, three sisters, myself and all our fam ilies have been users of the Cuticura Remedies for fifteen years.
