WORST CASE OF ECZEMA.
Spread Rapidly Over Body-Limbs
and Arms Had to Be Bandaged-
Marvellous Cure by Cuticura.

my son, who is now twenty-five
years OF age, when he was four
months old began to have eczema on
his face, spreading quite rapidly until
he was nearly covered. We had all
the doctors around US, and some from
larger places, but no one helped him
a particle. The eczema was something
terrible, and the doctors said it was
the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered, all but his feet. I had to
bandage his limbs and arms; his
scalp was just dreadful. A friend
leased me to try Cuticura, and I be-
gan to use all three of the Cuticura
Remedies. He was better in two
months; and in six months he was
well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont,
