After the first cake of Cuticura Soap ard box of Cuti- cura Ointment I used I could see a change. T used just two cakes of Cuti- cura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and my little girl’s head is cured. Her hair is growing fine and long and her skin is like velvet. Friends say that my quick action in using the Cuticura . Kemedies kept the eczema from spreading all over her body. “1 still use the Cuticura Soap and always keep a box of Cuticura Ointment, in the house. I used them for my hands, which were so badly chdpped that the skin would crack and bleed. I would cry with pain. My hands are entirely cured now. I know how wondes Cuticura is. Mrs. F. Davis 209 E.
