ITCHING CURED
With Cuticura Remedies i'm
Three Days After Six
Months of Suffering.

II suffered fully six months. The
trouble began on my arms in little
red pimples and it was not long before
it was all over my body, limbs, face,
and hands. 1t was so bad that l could
not rest night or day and during the
six months, did not get good nights
sleep. I doctored for three or four
months and spent at least twenty dol
lars trying to find cure but none could
be found. Then saw the Cuticura
Remedies advertised, and the next day
purchased some for seventy-five cents
at the druggists. I used them and
was relieved of the itching in three days,
and have never had sign Of any skin
disease since. The Cuticura Remedies
are the only remedies to use for skin
diseases, they have cured me and they
will cure others in the same way. j. w.
