Torturins humor - Hoped Death
Would End Fearful Suffering.
In Despair: Cured BY cutieura.

Words cannot describe the terrible
eczema suffered with. It broke out
on my head and kept spreading until
Il covered my whole body. I
was almost solid mass OF sores from
head to foot. looked more like q
piece OF raw beef than q human be-
Ing. The pain and agony endured
seemed more than could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore ON
my scalp. from under my finger nails,
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were SO crusted and swollen I
was afraid they would break on.
Every hair in my head fell out. I
could not sit down. 70. ny clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh. making me cry out from the
pain. My family doctor did all he
could. but / got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. l did not think
] could live. and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings.
I'm this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem.
cdies. / said would. but had no hope
Of recovery. But oh. what blessed re-
lief I experienced after applying Cuti.
cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
nrst real sleep had had In weeks. II
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. l would battle with warm
water and Cuticura Soap. then apply
the Ointment freely. ! also took Cuti.
cura Resolyent for the blood. In q
short time the sores stopped running.
the flesh began to heal, and / knew
was to get well again. Then the hair
On my head began to grow. and In
short time ! was completely cured.
wish could tell everybody who has
eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. VIM.
