It is an agony of agonies; a torture of tortures. It is an itching and burning of the skin almost beyond endurance. It is thousands of pin-headed vesicles filled with an acrid fluid, ever forming, ever bursting, ever flowing upon the raw, excoriated skin. No part of the human skin is exempt. It tortures, disfigures, and humiliates more than all other skin diseases combined. Tender babies are among its most numerous victims. They are often born with it. Sleep and rest are out of the question. Most remedies and the best physicians generally fail, even to relieve. Such is Eczema, the greatest skin humour of modern times. If Cuticura did no more than relieve Eczema it would be entitled to the gratitude of mankind. It not only relieves, but relieves instantly. A warm bath with Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the skin of crusts and scales, a single anointing with Cuticura Ointment, the great skin cure and purest of emollibnts, to instantly allay itching and irritation, followed by a full doce of Cuticura Resolvent, to cool the blood, will afford instant relief, permit rest and sleep, and point to a speedy, permanent and economical cure, when all else fails. Price, The Set, 6s; or. Soap, Is; Ointment, 2s 6d; Resolvent, 2s 6d, all chemists; or, post-paid, of E. Xewberv and Sons, London, E.C. 1<
