CUTICURA CURED HIM
 NEVER. TROUBLED SINCE

My little grandson when a year old had eczema all over his whole boIy and head. It lasted nearly three years. He had big sores on his head and the mat ter would run from them. He suffered from the itching and burning and would scratch entil he would bleed. He was 8 perfect sight. We tried every kind of salve and soap but they did no good: After spending hundreds of dollars, and having several doctors, which did him no good, we saw the Cuticura Remedies ad- vertised and we got some to see if they would help him. We used the Cuticura Soap to wash him with and then applied the Cuticura Ointment. They cured him nicely. He is now five and has never been bothered with it since.
