MAD WITH ECZEMA.

Shocking Humour on Arms, Hands, and Body--When Scratched Pimples Became Bleeding Sores—Could Not Sleep from Itching—Suffered Five Months—Cured in a Fortnight by Cuticura Eemedies.

" I was first affected on the arms and bands and between the fingors, and then nearly all over the body. It first broke out in small pimples which filled with water. Sometimes it was matter, and they itched so much that I could not sleep night or day. As soon as I got warm in bed the itching was dreadful I could not help scratching, and then they would bleed until they were like sores. It n-np like this over five months. I bad a physician after I had it for weeks and he told me it was a skin disease called eczema. I usnd his treatment for a fortnight, no more for it nearly 9ent me mad with the smarting of it I tried lots of things after that which cost me pounds. It is now over eight months since I first had it, and now I have not one pp'.t on me. Then I used five tablets of Cuticura Soap first and one box of Cuticura Ointment and in a week all the scabs came of! and left small purple spots, in a fortnight every one was gone. Now it is all new skin and no one would think how dreadful it was. Mrs. Cave. Long St., Hanslope, June 21,1906."
