BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

When my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. It
started In small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until 1t very nearly covered the back
part Of his leg to the knee.

cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. I
