IT had eczema on my hands for ten
years. | had three good doctors but
none Of them did any good. | then
used one box of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles Of Cuticura Resolvent
and was completely cured. My hands
were raw all over, inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before had used one
bottle, together with the Cuticura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time / had
used the third bottle, l was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease I would honestly ad-
wise them to fool with nothing else,
but get Cuticura and get we'll. My
hands have never given me the least
bit Of trouble up to now.
my daughters hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti-
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura Ointment and in two
weeks they were entirely cured. I
have used Cuticura for other members
of my family and it always proved sue
