SCALP ERUPTION
Tiny Pinhead PimpIes FILLED and
Hurt Tremendous y-Tried Every

Scalp was Crusted- Both Found

at is great pleasure for me and |
consider it a duty to inform you what
Cuticura has done for me. About
twelve years ago, contracted an erup-
ton of the scalp consisting of small
pimples, about the size of pinhead,
which filed after few days with pus
and which hurt tremendously; tried
everything. but in vain. Finally, l
washed nv head with sulphur and ap-
piled carbolic ointment. After few
DAYS the pimples disappeared, only to
come back again in q week. This l
suffered for ten years and then / saw
an advertisement in the paper of the
wonderful cures by Cuticura. l bought
a cake of Cuticura Soap, box Of Cuti-
cura Ointment and bottle of Cuticura
Pills and after three weeks l had used
only half the Soap and Ointment and
my head was as clean as ever before.
After the first application it was simply
surprising how it improved.
my daughter used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment for scales on the scalp and
after having used them three times her
head was clear and the hair became as
soft and fine as silk. Since then she
uses nothing but Cuticura Soap for
shampooing.
I'm consequence Of my having used
Cuticura Soap for shampooing, / no.
ticed that my hands which almost al
ways were cracked from handling un-
dressed wood, lime and stone, became
white and velvety. Formerly l used
glycerine, but one nights treatment
with Cuticura Soap and Ointment does
more for my hands than weeks treat
ment with glycerine. hope all suf-
fering people will at least try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. Herman Becker, FL
