WILDWITH ECZEMA One of Pittsburg’s Most Estimable Business Men Certifies to the Wonderful Efficacy of Cuticura. T was a sufferer for eight years from that most distressing of all diseases, _Eczema. Itried some of the best physicians in the country, but they did me little good. The palms of my hands were cov- ered, and would become inflamed; little white blisters at first would appear, then they would peel off, leaving a red, smooth surface which would burn like fire, and itch; well, there is no name for it. On the inside of the upper part of both my limbs, great red blotches, not unlike hives, would appear, and as soon as I became warm, the burning and itching would begin. Night after night I would lie awake all night and % seratch and almost go wild. I got a box of /4 CUTICURA Ointment, a bottle of CUTICURA %y’ # RESOLVENT, and gave them a thorough trial, ///* and after a few applications I noticed the red- ness and inflammation disappear; before I had used one box there was not a sign of Eczema left. I can truthfully assert that $2.00 worth of CUTICURA REMEDIES cured me. J. D. PORTE, 428 4th Ave., Pittsburg, Pa.
