THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.

OF all the diseases of the skin and
scalp which torture and dishgure man.
kind, threefourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and it
Is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions af-
fecting the skin, ignorance of its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is skin disease. 1t is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious,
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning of
the skin, causing loss of sleep, is usual
ly the most distressing symptom and is
caused by the bursting of little vesicles
filled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon
crusts until Disagreement is added to
torture.
One of the most successful treat
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the Oldest per-
son, is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings of Cuticura ONT
ment. For more than a generation
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli-
ents have proved the most efficient
agents In the speedy and permanent
relief of all forms of eczemas, rashes,
ltchings and irritations OF the skin and
scalp. Although Cuticura soap and
ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and
hopelessly and who have lost faith in
everything may make trial of them
without charge, a liberal sample of
each will be mailed free to any ad-
dress, together with a 32-page pamph-
let, giving a description and treatment
of the various forms OF eczema, as
well as other affections of the skin,
scalp, hair and hands-send to "Cuti-
cura," Dept. w, Boston.

and had deep and sonorous voice, In
one of the scenes the lights we're sup

The leading man spoke the lines,

them again, and still the stage was
