The instinct of modesty natural to every woman is often a

shrink from the personal questions of .the local physician
which seem indelicate. The thought of examination is ab

of disease which surely progresses from bad to worse.

BURNING ECZEMA
Started Like Ringworm on Hand

Spread to Arms, Legs and Face
It was Something Terrible.
PRESCRIPTIONS FAILED:
CUTICURA CURED HIM
"I have used the Cuticura Remedies
for a very bad case of eczema jwith com
plete success. About fifteen or eighteen
years ago the disease developed in the
Ehape of a large pinhead on top of my
hand. It burned and itched so much
that I was compelled to show it to a doc
tor. He pronounced it ringworm, and
made very light of it. He gave me a
wash and told me to apply it before go
ing to bed and all would be over in the
morning. But the next morning my
hand was all swollen up and I poulticed
it. When the doctor came to his office I
showed him the hand and to my sur
prise he told me that he had never ex
perienced such a case in his practice and
said it was well I poulticed it. After
trying his different remedies the disease
increased and went up my arms and
finally to my thighs and legs generally
and finally on my face. The burning
was something terrible. After I had
tried this doctor, as I thought, long
enough, I went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best in
town. He told me it was a bad case of
eczema and that it would take quite a
while to cure it. His medicine checked
the advance of the disease but no fur
ther. " I finally concluded to try the CuU
cura Remedies. I bought a cake of
Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint-
uicui. ana a Dome oi cuticura Itesolvent
and found relief in the first trial. I con
tinued until I was completely free from
the disease and I have not been troubled
with another attack since. I still use
the Cuticura Ointment in my family as
it is one of the best remedies to heal a
sore or other injury rapidly. I can
freely and truthfully say that the Cuti
cura Remedies are the best so far as my
experience went with them and I am
etill recommending them, feeling sure I
am not making a mistake. C. B'k
