RASH ALL OVER BODY
Awful, Crusted, Weeping Eczema on Little Sufferer r-AScore of Treat- ments Prove Dismal Failures.
CURE ACHIEVED BY CUTlCURA

My little boy had an awful rash all ever his body and the doctor said it was eczema. It was terrible and used to water awfully. Any place the water went it would form another sore and it would become crusted. A score or more phy- eicians failed utterly and dismally in their efforts to remove the trouble. Then I was told to use the Cuticura Remedies. I got a cake of Cuticura Soap, box of Cuticura Ointment and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and before we had used half the Resolvent I could see change in him. In about two months he was entirely well. George F. Lambert, 139 West Centre St., Mahanoy City, Pa, Sept. 26 and Nov. 4, 1907"
