Nearly Wild with Painful, -Burning.,;. Eruption-Half Her. Hair Fell Out and Combing It Was TortureFeared She Would 1 be Bald, IN DESPAIR UNTIL CURED BY CUTICURA " Just about two years ago, some form of humor appeared on my scalp. Tiio beginning was a slight itching, but it grew steadily -worse until, when I combed my hair, the scalp became, raw and the ends of the comb-teeth, would-be wet with blood. Most of tho timo there was an- intolerable itching, in a painful, burning way, very much as a bad, raw bum, if deep, will itch and smart when first beginning to heal.

Having used Cutictira Soap merely as a toilet ?oap before, I now decided to order a set of tho Cuticura Remedies—Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills. I used them according to directions for perhaps 6ix weeks, then left off, as tho disease Ecemod to be eradicated.

On my scalp I used about one half a cake of Cuticura Soflp $nd half a box of Cuticura Ointment in all'. The first timo I took six or seven bottles of Cutieura Pills and the last time three bottles—neither an expensive or tedious treatment. Since then I have had'no scalp trouble of any kind.
