MAD WITH ECZEMA.

Shocking Humour on Arms, Hands, and Body—When Scratched Pimples Became Bleeding Sores—Could Not Sleep from Itching—Suffered Five Months— in a Fortnight by Cuticura Remedies. "I was first affected on tho arms and hands and between the fingers, and then nearlv all over the body. It first broke out "in small pimples, which fillod with water. Sometimes it was matter, and they itched so much that I could not sleep night or day. As soon as I got warm in bed the itching was dreadful. I could not help scratching, and then they would bleed until they were like sores. It was like this over five months. I had a physician after I had it for weeks, and ho told mo it was a skin disease called eczema. I used his treatment for a fortnight, no more, for it nearly sent me mad with the smarting of it. I tried lots of things after that which cost me pounds. It is now over eight months since I first had it, and now I have not one spot on me. Then I used five tablets of Cuticura Soap first, and one box of Cuticura Ointment, and in a week all the scabs came off and left small purple spots, and in a fortnight every ono was gone. Now it is all new skin, and no one would think how dreadful it was. Mrs. Caves, Long-street, Hanslope, June 21, 1306."
