Pimply Eczema Began
On Fingers
Itched terribly. Spread over both hands and to armpits. Left dry chappy sort of crust which was intensely painful. Used Cuticura and was com- pletely healed.
From signed statement of Mr. J. Thorpe, 6, North St., Downcad, Bris tol, Eng., August 10, 1915.
It does not take you long to find out what Cuticura wifi do for eczemas, rashes, itchings, burnings, fiery, watery pimples, etc. Bathe the affected surface with Cuticura Soap and hot water, dry lightly and apply Cuticura Ointment. At once the itching ceases, sleep and rest follow, and complete healment in most cases results in continued use.
Samples Free by Post. (Soap to cleanse, Ointment to heal.) Address: F. Newbery & Sons, 27, Charterhouse Sq, London. Sold everywhere.
