II wish to inform you that vo,ir

twelve years of misery | passed with
my son. As an infant | noticed on
his body a red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to
get larger l put him under the care
of doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
Of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse it grew. During
the day it would get rough and form
like scales. At night it would be
cracked, infamed, and badly swollen,
with terrible burning and itching.
Whom think OF his suffering. it nearly
brea KS my heart. His screams could
be heard downstairs. The suffering
of my son made me full of misery. |
had no ambition to work, to eat, nor
could | sleep.
"One doctor told me that nv sons
eczema was incurable, and gave it up
for q bad job. One evening | saw an
article in the paper about the wonderful
Cuticuro and decided to give it trial.
Il tell you that Cuticura Ointment
IL worth its weight in gold and when |
had used the first box of Ointment there
was a great Improvement, and by the
time ] had used the second set OF Cuti-
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuti-
cura Resolvent my child was cured. He
is now twelve years old, and his skin is
