Our little daughter, now fifteen months old, was troubled from her birth with Eczema. Her face, arms, hands, and neck would break out with red pimples, the parts afflicted would swell and become terribly inflamed, water would ooze out like great beads of per spiration, finally this would dry up and the skin would crack and peel off. She suffered terribly. Had to wear soft mittens on her hands to keep her from scratching. We gave two of our leading physicians a good trial, but neither of them helped her in the least. purchased CUTICURA SOAP, CUTIcURA Joint ment), and CUTICURA REsoLvENT, and com menced using them as follows: After bath ing wiped her with soft linen cloth, applied CUTIoURA (ointment) freely and gave her the REsoLvENT regularly. She improved at once and is now never troubled, although we have used less than one bottle of REsoLvENT, three boxes of SALvE, and of course CUTIoURA SOAP. The statements have made are abso- lutely true and not exaggerated in any way. Would also say you have my permission to publish this, should you wish.
