TORE HIS SKIN OFF
In Shreds-Itching Was Intense
Sleep Was Often Impossible.
Cured by cuticura In Three Weeks.

"At first an eruption of small pus-
tules commenced on my hands. These
spread later to other parts of my body,
and the itching at times was intense,
SO much so that 1 literally tore the
skin off in shreds in seeking relief.
The awful itching interfered with my
work considerably, and also kept me
awake nights. l tried several doc
tors and used a number Of different
ointments and lotions but received
practically no benefit. Finally l set
tied down to the use Of Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills,
with the result that in few days all
itching had ceased and in about three
weeks time all traces Of my eruption
had disappeared. 1 have had no trou-
BILE of this kind since. H. A. Kruts-
