COULD NOT STAND SUFFERING
FROM SKIN ERUPTION

I have been using Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment for the past
three months and I am glad to say
that they cured me of a most annoy
ing skin eruption. 1t began by my no
t1cing red blotches appearing on my
face and scalp. Although they were
rather disfiguring, I did not think airy
thing Of them until they began to get
scaly and dry and to itch and burn
until I could not stand the suffering.
Then I began to use a different soap,
thinking that my old kind might be
hurting me, but that didn't seem to do
any good. went to two different doc
tors but neither seemed to relieve me
any. I lost many nights sleep in con-
tlnua1 scratching, sometimes scratch
ing till I drew the blood on my face
and head. Then I started in to use
the Cuticura Remedies and in two
months was entirely relieved of that
awful pest. I am SO delighted oyer
my cure by Cuticura Remedies that
shall be glad to tell anybody about
it." (Signed) G. M Macfarland, 221
