"My eczema started on my thigh with a mall pimple. It also came on my scalp. It began to itch and I began to scratch. For eighteen or twenty years I could not tell what I passed through with that awful itching. I would scratch until the Hood would soak through my underwear, and I coul l- : talk to my friends on the street but I would be dig ging and punching that spot, until I was very much ashamed. The Itching was so intense I could not sleep after once in bed and warm. I certainly suffered torment with that eczema for many years. I chased after everjtning I ever beard of; all to no avail. I saw the advertisement for Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent fcr a sample. Imagine my delight when I applied the first dose to that awful Itching Ere on my leg and scalp, in less than a minute the itching on both places ceased. I got some more Cuticura Soap and Oint ment.
