WOULD SCREAM FOR HOURS WITH ECZEMA. "Enclosed find my son's photo., and I .feel by writing these few lines to you 1 am only doing my duty, as my son was a dreadful sufferer from eczema. At the ago of two weeks he began to got covered with red spots on his legs and groins, which mother thought was red gum or thrush; but day by , day it grew worse, until every joint anil Ci'evico wero affected, and baby started screaming for hours day and night, such a thing as sleep was cut of the question. I took him to two of Sydney's leading doctors. One said it was one of the worst cases he had seen; the other did not think it bo serious. One ordered ointment for rubbing iu; the other a dusting powder. I followed their prescriptions for over four months, and still baby kept getting worse. I could not keep him from scratching so groat was his agony. , "When ho was fir© months old I fried the Cuticura Remedies, and I am very thankful to say my baby is to-day free from all his suffering. His groins wero bleeding when I started, and other parts affected ■were the lower part of his body, under the knees, arms, in arm joints, eyebrows,. and neck; but after twice using Cuticura Ointment 1 began to see a difference, and by the time I . had used. one tin, alon£ with the i bathing with Cuticura Soap, baby was nearly cured. I stll kept on using the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and now, thank good- ' ness, he is quite well, and, although he is I now'ten months old. has not had any further return of the trouble."
