"Eczema of a wet nature ärst marted behind my ears and gradually worked all over my body. I was a mass of hazors and I never slept at night, for the itching and baring was terrible. I could not do my household duties; I was helpless. My hair also came out in combfuls and I was quite baid. '

"I saw a Cuticura Soap and Ointment advertisement and determined to give them a trial. I found relief with the first box of Cuticura Ointment and the first cake of Cutiara Soap, and after using four boxes of Cuticura Ointment and about six cakes of Cuticura Soap I was beated."
