MAD WITH ECZEMA. Shocking Humour on Arms, Hands, and Body—When Scratched Pimples Became Bleeding Sores —Could Not Sleep from Itching—Suffered Five Months—Cured in a Fortnight by Cuticura Remedies. " I was first affected on the arms and hands and botweeu the fingers, and then nearly all over the body. It first broke out in small pimples, which rilled with water. Sometimes it was matter, and they itched so much that I could not sleep night or day. As soon us I got warm in bed the itching was dreadful. I could not help scratching, and then they would bleed until "thev were like sores. It was like this over five months. 1 had a physician after I had it for weeks, ana he told me it was a skin disease called eczema. I used his treatment for a fortnight, no more, for it nearly sent mo mad with the smarting of it. I tried lots of things after that which cost mo pounds. It is now over eight months since 1 Rest had it, and now I have not due spot on me. Then I used five tablets ->f 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.
