Severe Itching
Eczema Two Years
Healed by Cuticura

Eczema broke out on my hands
In small pustules about the size OF
the head Of a needle and seemed to
contain water. The itching was
very severe and / was tempted to
scratch them continually. The irri-
tation which resulted not only
caused great discomfort but inter-
fered with my work and sleep. The
trouble spread to my forearms and
prevailed for almost two years.

cura Soap and Ointment and pur-

two months my hands were healed"
