ITcHED so COULD NOT SLEEP

II suffered from the early part of
December until nearly the beginning
Of March with severe skin eruptions
on my face and scalp. At first I
treated 1t as q trivial matter. But
after having used CASTLE soap, medi-
Gated washrags, cold cream, vanish
ing cream, ETC., found no relief what
ever. After that diagnosed my case
as eczema, because of its dry. scaly
appearance. The itching and burning
of my scalp became SO intense that
thought / should go mad, having not
slept regularly for months past. only
at intervals, waking up now and then
because of the burning and itching Of
my skin. Having read different tes-
timonials of cures by the Cuticura
Remedies, decided to purchase q box
of Cuticura Ointment and q cake of
Cuticura Soap. After using them for
a few days recognized a marked
change in my condition. / bought
about two boxes of Cuticura Ointment
and fve cakes Of Cuticura Soap In all.
and after a few days I was entirely
free from the itching and burning.
My eczema was entirely cured. all
due to using Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment daily. Hereafter I will never
be without q cake Of Cuticura Soap on
my washstand. l highly recommend
the Cuticura Remedies to anyone sui.
