INTOLERABLE ITCHING SCALP.

'Must about two years ago, some form of humour appeared 011 my scalp. The begin - ing was a slight itching but it grew steadily worse until, when I combed my hair, tlie scalp became raw. Most of the time there was an intolerable itching, mi n painful, burning way. Combing my hair was positive torture. My hair was long and tangled terribly because of the blood and scabs. This continued growing worse and over half my hair fell out. I was in despair, really afraid of becoming totally bald. "Sometimes the pain was so great that, when partially awake, I would scratch the worst places so that my finger-tips would be bloody. After being asleep a short time that awful stinging pain would commence and then I would wake up nearly wild with the torture. A neighbour said it must be salt rheum. I now decided to order a sot of Cuticura Soap Ointment and Tills. I used them for perhaps six weeks, then left off as the disease seemed to be eradicated, but toward spring, eighteen months ago, there was a slight return of the scalp humour. I commenced the Uuticura treatment at once, so had very little trouble. 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 been for Guticura I should doubtless be wholly bald. This is a voluntary, unsolicited testimonial and I take pleasure in writing it, hoping my experience may help someone else, Miss .Lillian Brown, E.F.D. 1, Liberty.Me., U.S.A. Oct. 29,1909."
