NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair
Began to Fall Out-Worderful Re-
suit from Cuticura Remedies.

about the latter part of July my
whole body began to itch. l did not
take much notice of it at first, but it
began to get worse all the time, and
then I began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum
ors; but I became worse all the time.
MY hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched ali the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as I would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and it
was not long before ! could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and |
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks I would take hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and l
kept getting better, and by the time
1 used four boxes of Cuticura | was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out. D. e. Blankenship, By
