ECZEMA ALL OVER HIM,

Owes Recovery to Cuticura.

"My son Clyde was almost COM
pletely covered with eczema Physi-
clans treated him for nearly year
without helping him any. His head,
face, and neck were covered with large
scabs which he would rub until they
fell off. Then blood and matter would
run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that IL
he got well he would be disfigured for
life. When it seemed as If he could
possibly stand it no longer, I used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent. That
was the first night for nearly year
that he slept. In the morning there
was 4 great change for the better In
about six weeks he was perfectly we'll.
