suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed. for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything. but
the eczema seemed to spread. II
started In a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until 1t very nearly covered the back
part OF his leg to the knee.
Finally got Cuticura Soap. Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. I
used them In the morning and that
evening, before I put my boy to bed.

be so much less. I used two boxes OF

Pills and the Soap and my boy was
