ECZEMA DIsFIeuRED

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. Tho
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began a. pimples. his little
face was disngured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night. his little face
itched.
"We consulted two doctors at Chi
cago. where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, We
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following tho directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result. and after four weeks. the dear
child's face was a. fine and clean ~
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has .
head Of hair which IL a pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecht, Box 883. West Point. Neb.,

and Ointment are sold by druggists
