am for the wonderful Cuticura Rem
edies. My little niece had eczema for
five years and when her mother died
l took care Of the child. II was all
over her face and body, also on her
head. She scratched so that she could
not sleep nights. ! used Cuticura Soap
to wash her with and Their applied

half the Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
together with Cuticura Resolvent, when
you could see q change and they cured
her nicely. Now she is eleven years old
and has never been bothered with &c
Eema since. My friends think it is Just
great the way the baby was cured by
Cuticura. She was taken with the eczema
when two years old. She was covered
with big sores and her mother had all

salves and medicines without effect
until we used Cutcura Remedies. Mrs.
