I will always use Hunt's Cure for itching trouble, and tell alt I see about it. I could shout now to know that we are a!* well of that dreadful trou ble. The first of last fall my little boy broko out with some kind kf itching trouble. Thiniizig his blood was bad I gave him a good tonic, but he got worse, and could not sleep at night. Some said he had itob, and told me what was good for it. I used what peol)Ie said would cure It, but nothing did any good. My other two children and myself took tAe disease from him In January, 1911. I saw Hunt's Cure advertised and I purchased a 60c. box It helped my little boy so much I got a box for each of the family, and now we are all well of that awful trouble. Hunt's Cure will cure Itch In a short time if you will go by directions. We had It in its worse form, and used Hunt's Cure, and we are now all well. Thanks to A. 13. Richards Medicine Co. of Sherman, Texas, manufacturers of bj-sh healing medicine. Nothing will cure like Hunt's Cure, or as quickly. Uso It if you have any itching trouble and you will never be sorry. That is what I did. MRS. JOHN W. PITCHFORD, Aspen, N. C. AN INVITATION. Harry Nort-I'm going up in an air ship tomorrow.
