TERRIBLE ECZEMA
ON LITTLE BOY
Mouth and Eyes Covered With
Crusts??Face Itched Most Fear?
fully?Hands Pinned Down to
Prevent Scratching
MIRACULOUS CURE
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES
" Whf.n my little boy was rIx month* old, h?
h;iri eczema, 'j'he nores extended no quickly
o?et the whole body thnl we at once railed In
the doctor. We thru
went to another dor.tor,
hut he could not help
him, and in our dcipair
we went to a third one.
Malters became 10 bad
that he had regular
holes in hi? checke,
large enough to put e
finger into. The food
had tn be given with a
spoon, for his mouth
was covsred with crusts
as thick as a fiDger, and
whenever he opened th?
mouth they began to
bleed and suppurate, as
did also hit eyes.
Hands, arms, chest, and
back, in short the whole
body, was covered over |
and over. We had no i
rest by day or .night. |
Whenever he was laid
In his bed, wo had to
pin his hands down:
i,t...., .,??.. ? otherwise he would I
AItokso HoBMin. gcrnlc)l hl|1 facC( mn(1
make an open sore, I think his fa?e must
have itched most fearfully.
" We tmn11 r thought nothing could help,
and I had mndo up my mind to send my wit*
with the child to Europe, hoping that the sea
air might cure him. otherwise he was t* be
put under good medical care There. But,
Lord he blesspd, matters came differently,
and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours
spoke about Ctlttcura, We made a trial with
Ctllicura Knap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and
within ten dajrs or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly as the
sickne?.? lind appeared it also began to dis?
appear, and within ten weeks the child was
absolutely well, and his skin was smnnlh and
whitens never before." )?*. H?hrath, President
