" Fob 1+ rears I suffered •-■with my hands. . The Skin came off in patches, loaving my hands raw. They itched terribly, ' and if I , rubbed them, water oozed out, leaving them, ■" worse than before. My thumbs and first fingers were the worst. The skin came Off, leaving a red, smooth surface. They itched ; and burned terrible. Other parts- of my hands became affected, the skin first drying up and peeling off. They were drawn together, and I could not;grasp.anything. : " I tried various ointments, but they did . mo no good. I went to five different doctors, having medicine and ointment from each, but all: to no purpose. One of the doctors told me they would never be cured; another said the oil. was all died up out .;', of the skin. Not one gave mo any hope of ever being cured. A friend thought ; one of my fingers was : withering away; v ' I tried various ointments recommended by friends, but they ' all failed >to ; cure. After .•. some time," a friend told mo about the Outicura Remedies, * having J tried j> them .with" success for hands similar to mine. I , tried them, • and I found that nothing had such a sooth-■ ing and cooling effect. They acted wonder- ~ fully and I noticed the soothing effect from the first. My hands were completely cured • by' the Cuticura Soap and < Ointment. It .■ ~.' has stood the -test/ of /af dozen years..lt is wonderful. ■- I never ; saw/, anything like it. : ; Other members of the household have benefited by it, and we are. "ever without a box."
