ITCHING ECZEMA WAS INTOLERABLE 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 three years ago I suffered from a slight rash which grew gradually to euch a pitch that it developed into weeping eczema. So bad was I, tho disease spreading over my face and whole booy, that I would only go out wearing a veil so extremely thick that my features were unrecognizable and I myself could hardly see. In addition to this, every night, on account of the terrible itching and sores, my hands had to be bound up and then tightly tied behind my back and as even then so intolerable was the agony that I would scratch where possible with my feet and rub my face against the bed clothes; my parents had eventually to firmly tie my feet together and bind a silk handkerchief all over my face. “I mention these facts with reluctance but they show the condition to which I was reduced. This went on for nearly two years in spite of specialists and treatments at two hospitals, but all gave me up as incurable. 1 was then advised to try Cuticura and, being desperate, did so. I slept better the first night, and persevering, the itching gradually grew less, ana the sores disappeared. Now lam free from blemish, rid of the irksome bandages and can dispense with a veil. My curo is so wonderful and complete that I feel I should like others to know of this and, though you will quite appreciate from the above facts my not disclosing my name, I hope that you will see nt to publish this letter for the benefit of others. lam now only twenty, so you will understand what my cure, means to me.
