Watery Blisters On Face, Neck and Hands Healed By Cuticura.
"Watery blisters came first on my face, neck, and hands. They were very
painful and irritating, and 1" could net get any sleep or rest for the itching. I could.. not do any of my household dutles for nine weeks as i was obliged to have my hands bandaged.
"After several months. without any change decided to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment I found relief after the first application, and two boxes of Caticura Ointment and four tablets of Cuticura Scup healed me." (Signed) Mrs. T. Inett, Pentre Villas, Wychbold, Wor cester, Eng., August 8, 1916
Most skin troubles might be prevented. by using Cuticura Soap and Ointinent
for every-day toilet purposes.
Samples Freo by Port. (Soap to cleanse. Ointment to heal.) Address: F.Newbery & Sons, 27, Charterhouse Sq., London. Sold everywhere.
