PRONOUNCED HIS • Whole Body Raw with EczemaLife was Intolerable—Was Even incased in. Plaster—Discharged from Hospitals as Hopeless. SUFFERED 14 YEARS CURED BY CUTICURA "From the age of three months until fifteen years old, my son Owen's life twas 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 him to a doctor and tried half a dozen other treatments, all with the same 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 words. No one thought we would rear him. The regimental doctor, a very clever man, pronounced the case hopeless; at least, he said the enly hope was that he might, 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 got worse under the successive treatments. At ono 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 his life was a burden to him. We kept trying remedy after remedy, but we had got almost past hoping for a cure. Six months ago we purchased a set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Rcsoivent- 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.
