Impossible to Get Employment, as
Face and Body Were Covered With
Itching Sores ? Scratched Till
Flesh Was Raw ? Spent Hun
dreds of Dollars on Doctors and"
Hospitals and Grew Worse
CURED BY CUTICURA
IN FIVE WEEKS
"Since the year 1S94 I have been
troubled with a very bad case of
eczema which I have spent hundreds
01 dollars trying
to cure, and I went
to the hospital,
but they failed to
cure me and it
was getting worse
all the time. Five
weeks ago my wife
bought a box of
Cuticura Oint
ment and one
cake of Cuticura
Soap, and I am
pleased to say that 1 am now completely
I cured and well.
"It was impossible for me to get
employment, as my face, head, and
body were covered with it. The
eczema first appeared on the top of
my head, and it had worked- aU the
way around down the back of my neck
and around to my throat, down my
bodv and around the hips. It itched
so 1 would be obliged to scratch it,
and tie flesh was raw.
"I would first wash the affected
parts with warm water and Cuticura
boap, and then apply Cuticura Oint
ment and let it remain on all night, and
in the morning I would use Cuticura
'Soap. I am now all well, which all
my friendj can testify to, and I will be
pleased to recommend the Cuticura
Remedies to any and all persons who
wish a speedv and permanent cure of
skin diseases." Thomas M. Rossiter,
