ALL NIGHT WITH
ITCHING ECZEMA
Terrible Sufferer Ever Since He Can
Remember, Utterly Intolerable.
Seemed Beyond Medical Power to
Cure. " My Disease Was Routed
by Cuticura Soap and Ointment."
"1 take great pleasure, in praising the
wonderful Cuticura Cures. Ever since I can
remember I was a terrible sufferer of eczema,
and other irritating skin diseases. I would
lie awake all night, and my suffering was
intolerable. A scitly humor settled on my
back, and being but a child, I naturally
scratched it. It was a burninK, itching sensa?
tion, and utterly intolerable, in fact, it was
so that I could not possibly forget about it.
It did not take long before it spread to my
shoulders and arms, and 1 was almost covered
with a mass ol r*w flesh on account of my
scratching it. I was in such a condition that
mv hands w^re tied.
"A number of physicians were called, but
It seemed bevono their medical power and
knowledge to cure me. Having tried numer?
ous treatments without deriving any benefit
from them, I had given myself up to the
mercy of mv dreadful malady, but 1 thought
1 would take the Cuticura treatment as a last
resort. Words cannot express my gratitude
to the one who created 'The Cuticura Mira?
cles.' as I have named them, for thank
heaven there was such a miracle as the Cuti?
cura Remedies s?\nt to the suffering world,
and now I feel as if 1 never suffered from
even a pimple. My dUease was routed by
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and 1 shall
never cease praising the wonderful merit"
thev contain. I will never be without them.
In fact. I can almost dare any skin diseases
to attack me. so long as 1 have Cuticura
Remedies In the house. I hope that this
letter will give other sufferers an idea of how
I suffered, and also hone that they will not.

aYQfW TEST
WIR,
Those Mysterious Miseries
Backache, headache, and other pains, all over a
woman's body, are often caused by some not-well-un?
derstood female ailment.
No one can tell just where female trouble will af?
fect you. It acts in a different way on different people.
Hence, treating the symptoms gives but little benefit,
and the most successful method may be said to be the
treatment of the cause?taking Cardui.
Cardui is a tonic, strength-building medicine, for
women. Thousands of ladies have written to tell how
they were benefited by using it, for their troubles.
Mrs. L. J. Ryder, Grand Haven, Mich., writes: "1
was very sick, with ail sorts of pains, due to female
trouble. I had tried the doctors here, and was ready
to give up hope. I could find no.relief, till I tried your
wonderful medicine, Cardui. Since then, I have had
no return of the previous trouble, or of any pains."
Cardui acts gently, yet quickly and naturally on the
delicate womanly organization. It leaves no bad after?
effects. It is prepared
from mild, vegetable in?
gredients, and contains no
harmful mineral drugs. It
cannot harm you. It is
almost sure to help you.
Why suffer longer?
All druggists sell
Cardui, with full direc?
tions for use, on the inside
of the wrapper. Drop in
at your druggist's and
get a bottle today.

It Is a safe bet that some of them will
be so badly choked up with cold that
they will hardly enjoy the produc?

It is not very likely, however, that
Madame Bernhardt can be persuaded
