about fifteen or eighteen years
ago eczema developed on top Of my
hand. 1t burned and itched so much
that I was compelled to show it to a
doctor. He pronounced it ringworm.
After trying his different remedies the
disease increased and went up my

face. The burning was something
terrible. I went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best
in town. He told me it was eczema.
His medicine checked the advance of
the disease, but no further. I finally
concluded to try the Cuticura Rene
