FEARFUL ITCHING
 BURNING SORES
Boy in Misery l2 Years-Eczema Spread Over Body in Rough Scales, Cracked, InAamed, and SwOIIen-Case Pronounced Incur able, but Completely Cured by Two Sets of CuticuFa Remedies,
HIS SKIN NOW FINE
 AND SMOOTH AS SILK

"I wish to inform you that your wonderful CutiCura has put a stop to twelve years of misery ] passed with my son. As an infant l noticed on bis body a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger ] 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. When ] think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard dOwn-staiTs. The suffering of my son made me full of misery. l had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could l sleep.
 "One doctor told me that my sons gCzema was incurabla, and gave it up for a bad job. Che evening l saw an article in the paper about the wonderful CuJlcura and decided Co give lJ trial.
 "I tell you that Cuticura Ointment is worth its weight in gold, and when ] had used the first box of Ointment there was Q 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 as fine and smoCthas silk. Michael Stein- man, 2 Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn, N. T., April l6, 1905"
