INTENSE ITCHING WITH RASH

336 w. Goth st.. Los Angeles, CAL
sThe 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 at 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 six months I
saw how a person afflicted with skin
disease was cured by using Cuticura
Soap and Ointment.
Il bathed the sores with Cuticura
Soap and hot water and then applied
Cuticura Ointment and after about
six months constant treatment the
sores gradually healed, leaving the
skin soft and smooth. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment effected complete
cure" (Signed) H. A. Robinson, Feb.

In the majority of cases the basis OF

be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not

foods because the foods are served
daintily and they do not exercise
enough. But whatever the particular
cause may be 1t is important that the
condition should be corrected.

especially suited to their delicate re-
