MAD WITH ECZEMA

On Chest, Back, and Head— Heat, and Tingling Were Excruciating—Sleep Badly Broken—Cure by Cuticura Seemed Like Magic. - ' ' ■ ". ; "■■■ "Fouk months ago an eruption broke out on my daughter's chest. The first symptom was a redness, and then followed thickening and blisters, which would break and run matter. I took her to a doctor, and ho pronounced it to be eczema of a very bad form. He treated her, but the disease spread. It showed itself on her back, then quickly spread upwards until the whole of her head was affected, and all-her hair had to be cut off. The pain she suffered was excruciating, and what with that and the heat and tingling her life was almost unbearable. She became run down in health, ■ and at times was very feverish, languid, and drowsy, and occasionally she was delirious. Her nerves wore in such a low state that she could not bear to be left alone. She did not have a proper hour's sleep for many nights. The second doctor .wo- tried 'afforded her just as little relief as the first. Then I purchased Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills, and before the Ointment was three-quarters finished every trace of the disease was gone. It really seemed like magic. Her hair ia coming on nicely, and I still apply the Cuticura Ointment, as I find it increases the growth wonderfully.— T. W.
