And Neck. Mass of Sore Eruptions. Burning Terrible. Kept Awake. Cuticura Enticely Healed.
A few month after birth my daugh ter had eczema on her head, face, and neck. It Erst appeared as a rash and her head was one mass of sore eruptions. The imitation and burning were terrible, and used to keep her awake nearly all night I had to cover her hands to pre vent ber from scratching...
"After a year I was told to see Cuti- curd Soap and Ointment so i did. Aftar using about two tins she was nearly healed, and by the time I had used three tins she was entirely healed." (Signed) Mrs Mary Sumner, Well House Farm, Eversley, Nr. Winchfield, Hants, Eng., August 15, 1916,
