PRONOUNCED HIS CASE INCURABLE c Whole Body Raw with Eczema—Life was Intolerable—Was Even Incased in Piaster—Discharged from Hospitals as Hopeless. ; SUFFERED 14YEARS CURED BY CUTICURA o "From the age of three months untQ fifteen years old, my son Owen's life t-was made intolerable by eczema in its worst form. He -was all. right until a red rash broke out on his forehead, but -we were not alarmed at first. Very soon, however, the rash began to spread over his head and shoulders, and it caused him great discomfort. I took bim to a doctor and tried half a dozen other treatments, all with 'the came result: no improvement at all. The disease gradually spread until nearly every part of his body was quite raw. "We had to strap him down in bed, for he used to tear himself dreadfully in his sleep. The agony he went through is quite beyond,word_. No one thought we would rear him. The regimental doctor, a very clever man, pronounced the case hopeless; at least, tie said tbe only hope -was that he mipht, if he lived long enough, outgrow it to some extent. We had him in hospitals four times and he was pronounced one of the worst cases, if not the worst, ever admitted. From. each he -was . discharged as incurable; in fact he gofc~ W/Orse under the successive treatments. At one hospital they incased him in plaster, and this seemed to aggravate the soreness terribly. He looked so badly that no one liked to go near him and nis life was a burden to him. We kept trying remedy after remedy, but we bad got almost past hoping for a cure. Six months ago we purchased a set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent Pills and persevered with them. The result was truly marvelous and to-day he is perfectly cured, his skin not having a blemish on it anywhere.
