"At first an eruption of small pus-

much SO that literally tore the skin off
in shreds in seeking relief. The awful
itching interfered with my work con-

benefit. Finally 1 settled down to the
use of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment

in few days all itching had ceased and
in about three weeks time all traces Of
my eruption had disappeared. l have
