AWFUL PSORIASIS 35 YEARS. Terrible 8caly Humor In Patches All Over the Body Skin Cracked and Bleeding Cured by Cutlcura. "I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-five years. It was In patches all oVer my body. 1 used three cakes of Cutlcura Soap, six boxes of Ointment Oint-ment and two bottles of Resolvent In thirty days 1 wns completely cured, and I think permanently, ns It was about flvp years ago. Tho psoriasis first made Its nppearnnco tn red spots, genorally forming a circle, leaving In the center n spot about the slzo ot a silver dollar ot sound flesh. In a short timo the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of a whlto sllyory appearanco nnd would gradually drop off. To removo tho entlie scales hy bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge ot bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again In twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although It was In spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without with-out removing by bath or otherwlso; the akin would crack and bleod. I suffered Intense Itching, worse at nights after getting warm In bed, or blood warm by oxorclso, whon It would be almost unbearable. W. M. Chldestor, Hutchinson, Kan., April 20, 1905."
