 ITCHING ECZEMA
Spread from Body to Face Sufferer Was Ashamed to Go 0ut-Scales Formed and Her Skin Became Parched and Highly DiscoIored.
WAS CURED BY CUTICURA
 AFTER YEAR OF TORTURE

"I was suffering with eczema for a year and had tried all kinds of medical treatment but without any results. Small pimples broke out around my waist-line and where the clothing was tight on the body. These pimples be- gan to enlarge and thicken until they formed in patches. Then it worked upward until my face was covered. At first did not notice it much until I became warm from working. Then 1t seemed almost unbearable as the parts seemed inhamed and itched so that could hardly keep from scratch ing it all the time. The places were rather scaly and became moist when rubbed. Afterward the skin seemed parched and highly discolored. I re- mained indoors as I was ashamed to be out in company. I had suffered for about seven months before I tried Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. After I had used them a week, I found great relief and I con- tinued for five weeks, not missing a single day and now you could not tell | had ever had eczema. My com plexion is as good, if not better than ever. and cannot find words sufficient to do the Cuticura Remedies justice. Minnie Hutchins, La Cyne, Kan., Apr. 19 and 30, 1907."
