cura Remedies Cured Him.

From the age of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owens life
was made intolerable by eczema III its
worst form. In spite Of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part Of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
Of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each. he was discharged as in.
durable. We kept trying remedy
after remedy, but had gotten almost
past hoping for a cure. Six months
ago we purchased a set of Cuticura
Remedies. The result was truly mar
velous and to-day he is perfectly cured.
