Sore on hin bone cured by Cuticura remedies
In 1637 the author suffered a severe sore near the ankle that resisted several doctors. After a long illness and a blood flow in 1589, a boarding woman recommended Cuticura. Using Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Compounds, the sore healed and stayed clear for eight or nine months. The writer praises the remedy and hopes others try it. Glen Haven, Prattsville, N.Y.
