EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH 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 of, as 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 a dozen families that were so affected. “The doctors did their best, but 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. lam 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 brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cuticura Remedies for fifteen years.
