TumoRS CONQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia e. Pinkha

One Of the greatest triumphs Of

The growth of tumor is so In

FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.
Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep
Hands, Arms and Legs Affected
-Cuticura Cured in Days.

II had eczema nearly fifteen years.
The affected parts were my hands,
arms and legs. They were the worst
in the winter time, and were always
itchy, and could not keep from
scratching them. I had to keep both
hands bandaged all the time, and at
night would have to scratch through
the bandages as the itching was so
severe, and at times / would have to
tear everything off my hands to scratch
the skin. I could not rest or sleep. I
had several physicians treat me but
they could not give me permanent
cure nor even could they stop the itch
ing. After using the Cuticura Soap,
one box of Cuticura Ointment and two
bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for about
six days the itching had ceased, and
now the sores have disappeared, and I
never felt better in my life than I do
now. Edward Worell Band 30th U. S.
