Suffered Untold Misery for Three

MARVELLOUS CURE BY

"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. q particles.
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
used many kinds of patent medicines
before trying the Cuticura Remedies
all to no avail. ....
"a friend teased me to try Cuticura.
At last I consented, when my boy
was three years and four months
old, having had eczema all that time,
and suffering untold misery. I began to
use all three of the Cuticura Remedies:
the Cuticura Soap helped as well as
the Ointment. He was better in two
months; in six months he was well;
but gave him the Cuticura Reso1vent
one year, - using twelve bottles, l
think, - and always used the Cuticura
Soap for bathing, and do now a good
deal. He was four years old before
he was well, and his skin became per-
fectly fair when cured. I give you per-
