-Cutlcura's Efficacy Proven.

Il am now 80 years old, and three
years ago I was taken with an at

and protruding. The doctor said the
only help for me was to go to q

several remedies for months but did
not get much help. During this time
sores appeared which changed to a
terrible itching eczema. Then began
to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Pills, injecting a quantity Of Cuticura
Ointment with a Cuticura Suppository
Syringe. It took a month Of this
treatment to get me in fairly healthy
state and then treated myself once
day for three months and, after that,
once or twice a week. The treatments
tried took a lot Of money, and 1t is
fortunate that I used Cuticura. ]. H.

girl came over. She said that she

and l looked at her through a hole In
