IN AGONY WITH ITCHING RASH.

" Some three years ago I suffered from a slight rash, which grew gradually to such a pitch that it developed into weeping eczema. So bad was T, the disease spreading over ray face and whole body, that I would onlv go out wearing a veil so extremely thick that my features were unrecognisable, and I mvsolf could hardly see. In addition, to this, every night, 011 account of the terrible itching and sores, mv hands had to bo bound up and then tightly tied behind my back, and as even then so intolerable was the agony that I would scratch where possible with my feet, and rub my face against the bed clothes; my parents had eventually to firmly tie my feet together, and bind a silk handkerchief all over my face. " I mention tlieso facta with reluctance, but they show the 'condition to which I was reduced. This went on for nearly two years, in spite of specialists and treatments at two hospitals, but all gave mo up as incurable. I was then advised to try Cuticura, and. being desperate, did so. I slept better the first night, and, persevering, the itching gradually grew less, and the sores disappeared. Now I am free from blemish, rid of the irksome bandages, and can dispense with a veil. My euro is so wonderful and complete that I feel I should like others to know of this, and, though you will quito appreciate from the above facts my not disclosing my name, I hope that you will see fit to publish this letter for the benefit of others. I am now only 2.0, so you will understand what my cure moans to me. L y G-m, Grand Parade, Eastbourne, England, August 27, 1909." Reference: R. Towns and Co., Sydney.
