' A YEAR'OF TORTURE. Intense Itching Eczema Drove Him Nearly to Despair—Chief, Surgeon of a London ' Hospital Called It Worst Case He Had Ever Seen—Cuticura Alone Stopped Hia Unbearable Agony. ; " About four years ago,* in. London,.- llwas troubled by a severe itching and dry/scurfy skin on my ankles and feet. The Bame, in a few days, was the case with my arms <md • scalp. J could hardly keep from scratching, which made it worse Then large red natches appeared, with inflammation .' and sorenoßS. After ten days, thousands of small red pimples formed. On becoming dry, these caused intense itching. : I was advised to go to a hospital for diseases of the skin. I did bo and was an out-patient for a month or more, the chief surgeon _ saying: 'I never saw such a bad case of eczema.' But I cot little or no relief. Then I tried many so-called remedies, but I became so bad that - I almost gave up in despair. On coming to the United States I heard so many accounts of cures by • Cuticura Remedies that I resolved to give them a trial. This was after ■ suffering agonies • for; twelve months. I was' relieved :: of; the g almost unbearable ' itching after two or three applications of, Cuticura Ointment and after using three sets of the Cuticura Remedies I was complete./ cured. —Henry Searle, Little Rock, Ark., U.S.A..
