STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS

Some nine years ago l noticed
small pimples breaking out on the
back Of my hands. They became very
irritating, and gradually became
worse, so that l could not sleep at
night. consulted physician who
treated me long time, but 1t got
worse, and l could not put my hands
In water. / was treated at the hos
pital, and it was just the same. l was
told that 1t was a very bad case Of
eczema. Well, just kept on using
everything that l could for nearly
eight years until / was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. / did so, and I
found after few applications and by
bandaging my hands well up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
l could sleep we'll, and did not have
any itching during the night. l began
after while to use Cuticura Soap for
q wash for them, and l think by using
the Soap and Ointment l was much
benefited. l stuck to the Cuticura
treatment, and thought If l could use
other remedies for over seven years
with no result, and after only having
few applications and finding ease
from Cuticura Ointment, thought 1t
deserved a fair trial with a severe
and stubborn case. l used the Oint-
ment and Soap for nearly six months,
and / am glad to say that l have
hands as clear as anyone.
