If I put my hands in water, I was in agony for hours; and if I tried to cook over the stove, the heat caused intense pain. I consulted a doctor, but his prescriptions were utterly useless. I gave him up and tried another, but without the least gatis faction. About six weeks ago I got my first relief when I purchased Cuticura Soap and Ointment. After

After using them a week, I found to my great delight that my hands were beginning to feel much better, the deep cracks began to heal up and stop running, and to-day my hands are entirely well, the one cake. of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment being all that I used to make a complete cure.
