any brother had eczema three DIFF

shoulders and down his back, and he said
his suffering was terrible. He used dif.
ferent kinds Of medicines that were said
to be good for that disease, but nothing
seemed to do him much good. When it
came on the third summer, he bought Q
box Of Cuticura Ointment and gave i
a faithful trial. Soon he began TO feel
better and he cured himself entirely
with Cuticura and has never been
bothered with eczema since. He also
used Cuticura to cure bunch over his
eve and terrible corn which was SO bad
that he could not wear his shoe. a
