RUNNING SORES ON LIMBS.
Little Girls Obstinate Gee Of Eczema
Mother Says: "cuticura Rene
dies q Household Standby"

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent
physician, for an obstinate case OF
eczema, / resorted to the Cuticura
Remedies, and was so well pleased
with the almost instantaneous relief
afforded that we discarded the physi-
clans prescription and relied entirely
on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura ONT
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well.
and there has been no recurrence OF
the trouble. We find that the Cuti-
cura Remedies are valuable house

miles from doctor, and where 1t
