THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, JULY 31,1 906, AWFUL PSORIASIS r 35 YEARS over my body 1 jmi Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches Ali Over the Body Skin Cracked and Bleeding Itching Unbear ableCured by Cuticura in Thirty Days at Cost of. $4.75. ANOTHER WONDERFUL CURE BY CUTICURA "I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-five years. It w as in patches all 1 usea inree caii.es of Soap, six boxes C u ticura Oint ment, and two bottles of Cuti cura Resolvent. I bathed with the Soap, applied the Ointment once a clay, and took the Resolvent as di rected. In. thirty days I was completely cured, and I think" permanently, as it was about five years ago. vThe psoriasis first made its appear ance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center a spot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form aheavy dry scale of a white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften, them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, al though it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without remov ing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bjeed. I suffered intense itching, worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable. "To sum it all up, I would not go through such another ordeal of affliction for thirty-five years for the State of Kansas, (signed) W. M. Chidester, Hutchinson, Ivan., April la), VMo. Cntirurfl Soup.

HAMMER CALLS OK THEPRISONERS Man who will Prosecute the Five Negroes for the Murder of the Lyerly's was at Mecklenburg Jail Sunday. He Interviews Witresses and Prisorers. . Solicitor Hammer who will prose cute the five negroes now in Mecklen burg jail, charged writh the murder of the Lyerly family, was in Charlotte Sunday. He went to the jail and had a talk with the two negro wit nesses who claim that Jack Dilling ham has made a confession. He also questioned the prisoners. The Salis bury Post has this to say of Solici tor Hammer's visit: "Solicitor Hammer was in Salis bury aeain yesterday and as on his previous visit gave his whole time to the case of the negroes charged with the murder of the Lyerly fami ly. Mr. Hammer ran over to Char lotte and Questioned the witnesses and prisoners but if he got any satis faction from the latter he does not say so. It is certain that the two men confined in the cell with Jack Dillingham will be introduced as wit nesses by the State and their testi mony will be valuable. "The solicitor made another trip through the country to Barbers Junc tion yesterday in order to familiarize himself with the local surroundings and question certain witnesses. "The special term of court ordered by Governor Glenn convenes next Monday morning in Salisbury. The selection of a jury will occupy the court possibly for an hour, after which the case will be opened. So far none of the defendants have em ployed counsel and it will probably devolve upon Judge Long to appoint members of the Salisbury bar to ap pear for them. "All told more than a half hundred witnesses will be examined but most of these will be disposed of in a few minutes. The cases will be tried in a regular and orderly manner and no trouble from outside sources is an ticinated. An immense crowrd will be in Salisbury, however. All Cleve land township will be nere and the court room will not e able to accom modate half the number that wish to attend the trial." MINT HILL NEWS. Attention, Veterans! Mecklenburg Camp, 332 U.
