-Four years ago I suffered severely
with terrible eczema. being a mass
of sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time l suffered continual torture
from itching and burning. After being
given up by my doctor was advised
to try Cuticura Remedies. After the
first bath with Cuticura Soap and ap-
plication of Cuticura Ointment l en-
joyed the first good sleep during my
entire illness. l also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con-
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end OF that time I was able to be
about the house, entirely cured, and
have felt no i'll effects since. 1 would
advise any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies, as l know what they
