Soon they became inflamed and swelled terribly. My face was that way for over a year and I tried several remedies but they were not satisfactory. Finally I tried Cuticura Seap and Ointment and after using one box of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura | Soap 1 was completely cured and can say mow that I have as good ekin as anyone.” (Signed) Mrs. Nellie Maresca, Mar. 6, 1912, 'The regular use of Cuticura Soap for toilet and bath not only tends to preserve, purify and beautify the skin, scalp, hair and hands, | S1OW, to be awarded in the Columbia | bus assists {n preventing inflammation, frri~ Satlon and clogging of the pores, the common #auee of pimples, blackheads, redness, rough- mess, and other unwholesoms conditions.
