Could Lay Slate-Pencil in One

ease Defied Remedies and Pre

FOUND A PERMANENT
CURE IN CUTICURA
"I had eczema on my hands for about
seven years and during that time I had
used several so-called
remedies, together with
physicians' and drug
gists' prescriptions. The
disease was so bad on
my hands that I could
lay a slate-pencil in one
of the cracks and a rule
placed across the hand
would not touch the
pencil. I used ,
, Skin Lotion,
\ \l / itemeay ana
" ' others externally but I
did not use an y internal remedy, and
while Nome gave partial relief, none re
lieved as much as did tho first box of
Cutieura Ointment. I made a purchase
of Cutieura Soap and Ointment and
my hands were porfectly cured after two
boxes ?f Cutieura Ointment and one
cake of soap were used. I now keep
t hrin on hand for sunburn, etc., and use
Cutieura Soap for shaving. I could write
a gr^at deal more in reference to my
cure but do not want to take more of
your time. William H. Dean, Newark,
Del., Mar. 28, 1907."
CHILD SUFFERED
With Sores on Legs. Cured in
Two Weeks by Cutieura.
"My little daughter suffered with
sores on her legs all last, summer. Her
feet wt-re sore, too, und she couldn't
wear her shoes. I think she was poisoned
by running through weeds but the doc
tor said it was eczema. I tried several
remedies but failed to find a cure. Then
I sent for Cutieura Soap and Cutieura
Ointment which cured her in two weeks.
1 find Cutieura the best I ever tried for
any kind of sore and I hope I shall never
be without it. Mrs. Oertio Laughlin.
