Mr. VV J? Sloan—Dear Sir: I hereby certify
that my son Albert, eleven years of age, was
afflicted his feet from the time Le lirst be-.,
gan to walk, the bottoms of which were cov-'
ered with a hard dry skin, full of cracks, caus--j
ing pain and much affliction, many times he
was obliged to go on his hands and knees, and
no time has ho been free ^from the sore aillic
tion until now. Baffling the skill of several
physicians, but to our surprise his feet arc now
perfectly smooth soft and free from cracks,
ill from one application of your Ointment. I
would say the boy put it on himself as an expe
riment of bis own, -^rom hearing it recommend
ed. Nothing more was thought of it Tor three
weeks, at weich time his feet weic near about
in a heal thy stale, and arc now the same as
though they never had been otherwise.

In my opinion,
the greatest cures effected arc those" that have
longest resisted the skill of the Medical Facul
ty. .Idmitting that to boa fact, I'have a case
in point, to wit: Mr James Hanford, of Sheboy
gan Falls, was crippled two years with five
i rge deep ulcers, just, above the ankle. The
leg was so much swollen lie could not get on
a boot. Nearly :JI the most popular Physicians
in various piaccs have treated his ease without
any beneficial effect.
