BREAKING OUT ON LEG

Hilltop. Kan.-"About two years ago
began to notice breaking out on nv
leg. At first it was very small but
soon it began to spread until it formed
large blotches. The itching was ter
rible and almost constant. Many
nights could not sleep at all. After
scratching it to relieve the itching it
would burn SO dreadfully that I
thought could not stand it. For near
~ year tried all kinds Of salves
and ointment, but found no relief.
Some salves seemed to make it worse
until there were ugly sores, which
would break open and run.
One day saw an advertisement of
Cuticura Remedies. I got a sample Of
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment and began by washing the sores
with the Cuticura Soap, then applying
the Cuticura Ointment twice a day
I noticed a change and got more Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment and in a few
weeks was cured. It has healed SO
nicely that no scar remains" (Signed)
