AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered with Yellow Sores-Grew
Worse-Parents Discourased-Cu-
ticura Drove Sores Away.

Our little girl, one year and
half old, was taken with eczema or
that was what the doctor called it.
We called in the family doctor, and
he gave some tablets and said she
would be all right in a few days.
The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. He said she
was teething, as soon as the teeth
were through she would be all right.
But she still grew worse. Doctor
No. said it was c:zoma. BY this
time she was nothing but yellow,
greonish sore. Well. he said he could
help her, so we let him try 1t about
a week. One morning We discovered
a little yellow pimple on one OF
her eyes. or course we 'phoned for
doctor No. 3. He came over and
looked her over, and ssid that he
could not do anything more for
her, that we had better take her
to some eye specialist, since it was
an ulcer. So we went TO Oswego to
doctor No. 4, anu he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could
help it. We thought we would try
doctor No. 6. Well. that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
couraged. | saw one of the Cuti-
cura advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment, so l went and purchased
set OF Cuticura Remedies, which
cost me 81. and in three days our
daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had
disappeared. or course it could not
restore the eyesight, but II we had
used Cuticura in time l am confident
that it would have saved the eye. We
think there is no remedy so good for
any skin. trouble or impurity of the
blood as Cuticura. Mr.. and Mrs Frank
