Eruption Spread Over Face and Body—Shamefully Disfigured — Had to Tie Hands and Feet and Bandage Face' to Stop Agonized Scratching—Even Specialists THOUGHT IT INCURABLE BUT CUTICURA CURED HER ■ " Some threo years ago I suffered from a Blight rash which grew gradually to such a pitch that it developed into weeping eczema. So bad was I, tho disease spreading over my face and wholo body, that I would only go out wearing a veil bo extremely thick that my features wero unrecognizable and I myeclf could hardly Bee. In addition to this, every night, on account of tho terriblo itching and.sorcs, my hands had to bo bound up and. then tightly tied behind my. back and as ...even; then eo intolerable was tho ngdny that I would scratch v/hero possible-with my feet and rub my face against tho bedclothes; my parents had oventually to firmly tio my , fect together and bind a silk handkerchief ell over my face. ■ i • : "I mention these facts with reluctanco but they show tho condition to which'l was reduced. This went on for nearly two years in npito of specialists and .treatments at two hospitals, but all gavo mo up as incurable.. I was then advised, to try Cuticura nnd, being desperato/didEO, I slept'better tho first night; and persevering, tho itching fjraduaily grew less, and. tho sores disappeared. Nov. I am frco from blemish, rid of tho irksomo bandages and can dispense with a veil. My euro is so wonderful and complete that I fed I should like others to know of this and, though you will quite nppreciato from tho abovo facts my not disclosing my namo; I hopo that you will gco fit to publish this letter for tho benefit of others. lam now only twenty, so you will understand what my euro means to mo.
