Had to Be Cut to Save Any? Scalp
Now in Good Condition and No
More itching -Another Effective
CURE BY THE
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"I will gladly give you all the infor
mation concerning my case. I used
the Cuticuru .Soap and Ointment for a
diseased scalp, dandruff, and constant
falling of hair. Finally 1 had to cut
my hair to save any at all. Just at
that time I reait about the Cuticura
Remedies. Once every week I sham
pooed my hair with the Cuticura Soap,
and I used the Ointment twice a week.
In two months' time my hair was long
enough to do up in French twist. That
is now five years ago, and I have a
lovely head of hair. The length is
six inches below my waist line, my
scalp is in very good condition, and
no more dandruft or itching of the
scalp. 1 used other remedies that were
recommended to ine as good, but with
no results. If you wish to publish
any of what I have written you, you
are welcome to do so. I am, respect
fully, Mrs. W. F. Griess, Clay Center,
Neb., Oct. 23, 1905."
