EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

ut Is Just year ago that my Sis
ter came over here to us. She had
been here only a few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as II she had sand in them.
Then we used all of the home RENE
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to battle them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve. but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
go to doctor. because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said 1t was very severe disease, and
II she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied cleo
tricity to them. and gave her various
ointments. In the two and half or
three months that she went to the
DOCTOR we could see very little i'm
provement.
"Then we had read SO much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought we would try 1t, and
We cannot be thankful enough that we
used 1t. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood. bathed
only with Cuticura Soap. and at night
after washing. she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week. the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after a month there was no
longer any mucus or watering of the
eyes. She could already see better.
and in six weeks she was cured"
