NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

II have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every in
stance, l always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that of lady friend
Of mine who, when a child, was af-
flicted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture She
could not go to school as the disfigure-
ment looked terrible. told her to get
at once a set of Cutfcura Remedies.
After the use Of only one set she was
perfectly well.
"A grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum In one Of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall Of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
/ have also seen them cure children
Of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and I used the Cuticura Oint-
ment. 1t made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas It was quite stiff before
/ began to apply the Ointment
Last May l had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful. as the
side Of the nail was edging right
down In the side of my toe. l cut
the nail out OF the cavity it made. and
of course applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment to the part affected. 1t soothed
It and in less than ten nights 1t was
all healed through constant use Of the
Ointment. Ten days ago I had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. have just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she Is pleased
with the results and is recovering
nicely. I will gladly furnish the
names of the people referred to above
