Wonderful Change in One Night.
In a Month Face Was

~ was troubled with eczema on the
face for five months, during which
time l was in the care of physicians.
My face was in such a condition that
l could not go out. 1t was going
from bad to worse and l gave up all
hope, when a friend of mine highly
recommended Cuticura remedies. The
first night after I washed my face with
Cuticura Soap and used Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent it
changed wonderfully, and continuing
the treatment it removed all scales
and scabs. From that day l was able
to go out, and in a month my face
was as clean as ever"
