PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK

"My troubles began along in the
summer in the hottest weather and
took the form of small eruptions and
itching and a kind of smarting pain.
1t took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass of
pimples which would burn and itch at
night so that could hardly stand it.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
OF big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
a clot Of blood.
Il tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and was not
getting any benefit. 1t seemed I was
in eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on a chair. I was
finally given a set of the Cuucura
Remedies and inside Of two weeks l
could see and feel a great relief.
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also the Resolvent, and in about
three or four months time my back
was nearly cured and I felt like a new
being. Now / am in good health and

Miss Ritter entered Mrs. Faulkner's

she accomplished work faster than
two other ordinary maids could have
done 1t. And all the time she was
happy in its accomplishment.
Miss Anne Faulkner, speaking for
her mother, gives all the credit for
the loyalty and length Of service to
"Barbie." But "Barbie," who looks
