SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

MY mother used to have q very bad
humOr on her head which the doctors
called an eczema. and for 1t l had two
different doctors. Her head WAS very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
In spite Of what they both did. One
day her niece came In and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did 1t no good.
She says. Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint.
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching.
burning and scalding of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To
day she feels much in debt to Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment for The fine
head Of hair she has for an old lady
Of seventy-four.
MY own case was an eczema in nv
feet. As soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then I thought I would fee to my
mothers friends. Cuticura Soap and
