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 downstairs. The suffering
of my son made me full Of misery. L
had no ambition to work, to eat, nor
could / sleep.
Zone doctor told me that my sons
eczema was incurable, and gave it up
for bad job. One evening / saw an
article in the paper about the wonderful
Cuticura and decided to give it trial.
