SCAlY ECZEMA
ALL OVER BODY
Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and
Face and Neck Were All Broken
Out - Scales and Crusts Formed
= Iowa Lady Has Great Faith
in Cuticura Remedies for Skin
Diseases.
ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTlCURA

II had an eruption appear on my
chest and body and extend upwards
and downwards, so that my neck and
face were all broken out; also my arms
and the lower limbs as far as the knees.
/ at first thought it was prickly heat.
But soon scales or crusts formed where
the breaking out was. Instead of going
to a physician, l purchased a complete
treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in
which l had great faith, and all vas
satisfactory. 4 year or two later the
eruption appeared again, only a little
lower; but before it had time to spread
l procured another supply of the Cuti-
cura Remedies, and continued their use
until the cure was complete. 1t is now
five years since the last attack, and
have not seen any signs of a return. l
have taken about three bottles OF the
Cuticura Resolvent, and do not know
how much of the Soap or Ointment, as
I always keep them with me; probably
one half dozen of each.
II decided to give the Cuticura REM
edies a trial after l had seen the results
of their treatment of eczema on an
infant belonging to n Of u neigh
bors. The parent took the child to the
nearest physician, but his treatment did
no good. So they procured the Cuticura
Remedies and cured her with them.
When they began using Cuticura Rem:
edies her face was terribly disfgured
with sores, but she was entirely cured,
for l saw the same child at the age Of
FIVE years, and her mother told me the
eczema had never broken out SINCE. l
have more faith in Cuticura Remedies
for skin diseases than anything l know

The Only Charity That
Does Permanent Good
By PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

h HERE are a great many very excellent charitable people in the
country, but some of them tend to forget at times that the
only charity that does PERMANENT GOOD is that kind of
charity that is NOT CHARITY AT ALI, that teaches some N
how to help himself or herself. The only way in which any section
of our citizens, of no matter what color, can be permanently benefited
is by teaching them to PULL THEIR OWN WEIGHT, to do their
own duty, their duty to themselves, their duty to their ~neishbors, their
duty to the state at large.
