Sight of Eye Destroyed by Disease
Tried Five Doctors but Grew
Worse? In Agony Eight Months
? Parents Discouraged, Until
They Tried Cuticura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
SORES DISAPPEARED
"Our little girl, one year and a half
old, was taken with eczema or that ?u
what the doctor said it wju, We colled
in the family doctor and be gave some
tablets and said she would be all right
In a few days. The eczema grew wars*
and we called in doctor No. 2. He
said she was teething, as soon as the
teeth were through sho would be all
right. But she still grew worse. Doc
tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greonish sore. Wei!,, he said he oould
help her, so we let him try it about
? woek. One morning wo discovered
? little yellow pimple on one of her
?yes. Of course we phoned for doctor
No. 3. He came over and looked her
over and said that he could not do any
thing more for her, that we had better
take her to some eye specialist, since it
was an ulcer. So we wont to Oswego
to doctor No. 4, and ho said the eye
sight was gone, but that he oould help it.
We thought we would try doctor No. 5.
Well, that proved the same, only ho
charged $10 more than doctor No. J.
We were nearly discouraged. I saw
one of the Cuticura advertisements in
the paper and thought we would try
the Cuticura Treatment, so I went and
purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies,
which cost me <1, and in three days
our daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sorea had dis
appeared. Of course it could not re
store the eyesight, but if we had used
Cuticura in time I am confident that
it would have saved the eye. We think
there is no remedy so good for any skin
trouble or impurity of the blood as
Cuticura. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Abbott,
