CUTICURA CURED HIM

at have used the Cuticura Remedies

years ago the disease developed in the
hand. It burned and itched SO much
that was compelled to show it to doc
tor. He pronounced it ringworm, and
made very light of it. He gave me
ing to bed and all would be over in the
morning. But the next morning my
hand was all swollen up and I poulticed
it. When the doctor came TO his Office
prise he told me that he had never ex-
perienced such a case in his practice and
said it was well 1 poulticed it. After
trying his different remedies the disease
increased and went up my arms and
finally to my thighs and legs generally
was something terrible. After 1 had
tried this doctor, as I thought, long
enough, l went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best in
town. He told me it was a bad case of
eczema and that it would take quite a
while to cure it. His medicine checked
the advance of the disease but no fur
