treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her

had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got cake Of Cuticufa Soap, q
box of Cuticura Ointment and ono bot
tie Of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully After the
first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came off her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was we'll. She Is
now sixteen years Of age and a pic
ture of health. We used the Cuti-
