FACE A SIGHT WITH TETTER

Moberly, Mo.-"My trouble began
with a small pimple on the left side OF
my face and 1t spread all over my
face and to my neck. 1t would be scar
let red when I got warm. My face
was a sight. 1t looked very unpleas-
ant, and It felt uncomfortable. My
face was something awful; it just kept
me in agony all the time. Some said
It was letter, and some said 1t was
that awful eczema. but I rather think
It was letter. I had been troubled
with it for about two years and tried
many remedies. but got no relief until
I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment
when I would wash my face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment 1t would cool my skin
and draw great big drops Of matter
out Of the skin. You would think I
was sweating; 1t would run down my
face Just as though I had washed it.
It itched and smarted and I suffered
in the day time most. I used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
a month and I vas cured Of it." (sign-
ed) Mrs. j. Brooksher, April Is, 1919.
