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. Combing my hair was positive torture. My hair was long and tangled terribly because of tho. blood and scabs. This continued growing worse and over half my hair fell ou(. I was in despair, really afraid of becoming totally "Sometimes tho pain was so great that, when partially awake', I would scratch the wotst places so that my fin-ger-tips would be bloody. I could not sleep well and, after being asleep a short time, that awful stinging pain would corStnencs and than I would wako up nearly wild with tho torture. A. neighbor said It must be salt rheum. 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. But toward spring, eighteen months ago, there was a slight return of the scalp, liumor. I commenced the Cuticura treatment at once, v so had very little trouble. 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. Standing up, with my hair unbound. it comes to my knees and had It not D3enfor Cuticura X should doubtleas be wholly bald.
