INTENSE ITCHING WITH RASH

1886 w. goth St, Los Angeles, CAL
The skin affection began in a little
red colored rash on my right leg. and
gradually spread to other parts of my
body. Then small pimples appeared
and later several boils on my leg. The
skin around the boils was ut first
bright red. and afterwards became
darker colored. The clothing irritat-
ed the sores The pain caused ner-
vousness and loss OF sleep. and the
itching was intense. After using vari-
GUS remedies for about siI months
saw how a person afflicted with skin
disease was cured by using Cuticura

II bathed the sores with Cuticura
Soap and hot water and then applied
