to the good roads bureau of the de-
parrment OF agriculture at Washing

some of the material close at hand

are considered much better than sandy
streets and brick paving cannot be used

ALMOST FRANTIC WITH
ITCHING ECZEMA

Eight years ago l got eczema all
eve my hands. My fingers fairly bled
and 1t itched until it almost drove me
frantic. The eruption began with
itching under the skin. 1t spread fast
from between the fingers around the
nails and all over the whole hands. l
got a pair of rubber gloves in order to
wash dishes. Then 1t spread all over
the left side of my chest. A fine doc
tor treated the trouble two weeks, but
did me no good. l cried night and
day. Then | decided to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment but without much
hope as l had gone so long. There
was a marked change the second day,
and so on until | was entirely cured.
The Cuticura Soap we have always
kept in u home, and we decided
after that lesson that it is a cheap
soap in price and the very best in
quality. My husband will use no other
soap in his shaving mug" (Signed)
