ECZEMA ON HANDS FOR TEN YEARS Were Raw All Over Was Spreading to Body and Limbs Used Cuii cura and was Cured Also Cured Daughter's Eczema. "I had eczema on my hands for ten years. At first it would bteak out only In winter. Then It finally came to stay I had three good doctors to do all they could but none of them did any good. then used one box of Cut! cur a Ointment and three bottles of Culicura Resolv ent and was completely cured. My hands were raw all over, inside and out. and the eczema was spreading all over my body and limbs. Before I had used one bottle of Cutlcura Resolvent, together with theCuti- cura Ointment, my sores were nearly healed over, and by the time I had used the third bottle. I was entirely well. I bad a good appetite and was fleshier than I ever was. To any one who has any skin or blood disease I would honestly advise them to fool with nothing else, but to get Cutlcura and get well. My hands, cured by the use of Cutlcura, have never given me the least bit of trouble up to now. i cannot recommend Cutlcura highly enough, it has done me and my family so much good. My daughter's hands this sum mer became perfectly raw with eczema. She could get nothing that would do them any good until she tried Cutlcura. She used two bottles of Cutieura Resolvent and one box of Cutlcura Ointment and in two weeks they were entirely cured. I have used Cutieura for other members of my family and It always proved successful. I recommend It to any one witn eczema. After ence using ft you will never use anything else.. Mrs. M. E. Falin.
