DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit.
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cutlcura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has q
head of hair which is pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
