My wife had appear on her limbs, just above
the ankles, five small pimples that began to
enlarge, and soon developed into eating ulcers
of the INDECENT type, which, despite all rene
dies and our efforts to cure them, grew worse
and worse, and at the end of three months
had become very bad, two of them having
eaten to the bone. At that time we began to
use CUTICURA remedies and with two bottles
of REsOLvENT, one box of CUTICURA, and
one cake of CUTICURA SOAP, they were cured
sound and well in about two months. The
scars are there to-day as living witnesses of
the severity and extent of the ulcers.
| also was afflicted the same winter with
popular rash. from which could not rest day
or night. My skin became in a very bad fix

used them for about one month and was
cured.
My little baby girl, when about ten months
old, was afflicted with Eczema, her limbs from
her knees down were one solid sore from
which she suffered greatly. We tried several
remedies which only aggravated them before
we began the use of the CUTICURA remedies,
in which case there was complete cure with
no return of the disease.
