WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN
TROUBLE

81 began to have an itching over my
whole body about eve years ago and
this settled in my limb, from the knee
to the toes. l went to see a great many
physicians, a matter which cost me a
fortune, and after l noticed that l did
not get any relief hat way, 1 went for
three years. to the hospital. But they
were unable to help me there. l used
all the medicines hat 1 could see but
became worse and worse. l had an
Inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain. When l showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened. I did not know
what to do. l was so sick and had be-
come so that I positively lost
all hope.
81 had seen the advertisement of
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them, for l had already used so
many medicines. Finally 1 did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and 1
tell you that l was never so pleased as
when I noticed that, after having used
two sets Of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en-
tire Inflammation had gone. l was
completely cured. 1 should be only
too glad if people with similar disease
would come to ne and find out the
truth. 1 would only recommend them
to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs,
