BOY TORTURED BY AWFUL HUMOR
Almost Covered with Eczema-No Nights Rest for Nearly Year Feared Lifelong Disagreement All Treatments Failed and Limit of Endurance Seemed Near.
PERFECT RECOVERY
 IS DUE TO CUTICURA

"wIth the exception of his hands and feet, my son Clyde (thirteen years old) was almost completely covered with eczema. Phygicians treated him for nearly year without helping him any. While they were very kind and did all in their power, yet nothing seemed to re- heve him. And had tried many rem edies sent to me by kind friends but they all failed. His head, face, and neck were covered with large scabs which he would rub until they fell of. Then blood and matter would run out and that would be worse. Many a time he looked as if his ears would drop of. Friends com ing to see him said that if he got well he would be disfgured for life.
 When it seemed as if he could pos- sibly stand it no longer, decided to try Cuticura. bought cake of Cuti- cura Soap, box of Cuticura Ointment, and bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. l used them in the evening and that was the first night for nearly a year that he slept. This may sound exaggerated to you, but in the morning there was a great change for the better. In about six weeks you could not have told that hehad ever had anything wrong with him. treated him twice day for six months and at present he has Q fine complexion and not scar on his body.
