treated 1t as a trivial matter. But
after having used CASTLE soap, medi-
Gated washrags, cold cream, vanish

ever. After that l diagnosed my case
as eczema, because of it's dry, scaly
appearance. The itching and burning
OF my scalp became so intense that |

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, l decided to purchase a box
of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of
Cuticura Soap. After using them for
a few days l recognized a marked
change in my condition. l bought
about two boxes Of C%uticura Ointment
and five cakes of Cuticura Soap in all,
and after a few days l was entirely
free from the itching and burning.
My eczema was entirely cured, all
due to using Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment daily. Hereafter l will never
be without a cake of Cuticura Soap on
