II think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have

who had & rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave us medicine. but 1t did
no good. In few days the head was
q solid mass. running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle Of Cuticura Re-
solvent, a box Of Cuticura Ointment,
and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed. washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap. and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
It has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had beau.
tiful head of hair. I think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
It makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
