: Healed in LeSsThanThree Months.
" 'My boy was troubled with eczema on
his left hand and foot, and it caused great
itching, burning, and loss of sleep. It
was in the form of a rash, and the skin
was very sore and red. . A change of
stockings was necessary every day, and
even the sheets on the bed aggravated
him so he could not keep under cover.
The eczema caused all the skin to drop
in scales from the palm of his hand, and
the burning was so intense that he
scratched.
"Then we tried Cuticura Soap and
Hntment,ana in less than three months,
and after using one box of Cuticura Oint
ment and three bars of Cuticura Soap
his hands were healed." (Signed) Mrs.
C T. Jones, General Delivery, Great
Falls, Mont., Sept. 20, 1916.
A little care, a little patience, the use
of Cuticura Soap, and no other, on the

with touches of Cuticura Ointment to
any pimples, rashes, or dandruff often
