HANDS WOULD
 BURN LIKE FIRE
Could Lay Pin in Cracks. Four Long Yearsof Eczema. Only Reliefn Scratching. Used One Set
 of Cuticura Remedies.
 Hands Entirely We'll.

"1 can truthfully say Cuticura Reme- dies have cured me of four long years of eczema. About four years ago 1 noticed some little pimples coming on my little finger, and not giving it any attention, 1t soon became worse and spread all over my hands. If I would have them in water for Q long time. they would burn liko fire and large cracks would come, could lay pin could think of, went to three different doctors, but all did me no good. The only relief got was scratching.
 "So after hearing so much about the wonderful Cuticura Remedies, pur- chased ono complete set. and after using them threc days my hands were much better. To-day my hands arc entirely well, one set being all used" (Signed) Miss Etta Narber, R. F. D. 2, Spring Lake, Mich., Sept 26, 1910.
 No stronger evidence than this could be given of the success and economy of the Cuticura Remedies in tho treatment of torturing, disfiguring humors of tho skin. A single hot bath with Cuticura Soap and gentle anointing with Cuti- curn Ointment are often sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most dis dressing cases and permit rest and sleep when all else fails. .Cuticura Soap and Ointment are equally effective in pre- serving, purifying and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair and hands.
 Although Cuticura Soap (25c.) and Cuticura Ointment (5Oc.) are sold throughout the world, a liberal sample of each, with 32-p. book on the skin and scalp, will be mailed free on application to Potter Drug & Chem. Corp, Dept. N2B, Boston, Mass.
