"At all times and to all people l am willing to testify to the merits of Gu tiCura, It saved me from worse than the tortures of hades, about the year 1900, with itching on my scalp and temples, and afterwards it commenced to break out on my hands. Then t broke out on my limbs. l was advised to use salt and water, which l did, to no effeyt. Ithen went to a Surgeon, who commenced treating me with wash Of bOraX. This treatment did me no good, but rather aggravated the disease, then told him would go and see phy- sician in Erie. The reply was that l could go anywhere, but & case of eczema like mine could not be cured; that l was too old (S0). l went to an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and treated with him for six months, with like results. 1 had read of the Gu ticura Remedies often. was strongly tempted to give them & trial, so l sent for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent and continued taking the Resolvent until l had taken six bottles, stopping it to take the Pills. Twas now getting better. 1 took two baths day, and at night let the lsther of the Soap dry on. used the Ointment with great effect after washing in warm water, to stop the itching at once. l am now cured.
 "The Cuticura treatment is blessing and should be used by every one who has itching of the skin. l can't say any more, and thank God that He has given the world such a curative, You can use this letter as you please.
