iefuses to be interviewed and usually
answers his questioners with a burst
of gie(ful laughter.
lIe shlnply is ai xcellent example
of what strength of chiaratter will ac

12 years ago that he made up1) 1I1s mind
to keep to his bod he has iade that

that he ha1s succeeded, perhaps, eve'i
beyond h;is early eXpectations. For a

force him from bed by retfising to
bring his mneals to him1 but John, un

faco to tile wall, and waited. After a

for fear that he would starve to death.

Mrs. John W. Pitchford, of Aspen, N. C.
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.
