Paxon St., Philadelphia, Pa. —"My son, one year old, had suffered with eczema on his scalp and occa sional outbreaks on his face and body ever since he was a small baby. The first sign of any disturbances of the scalp was the appearance of dandruff. Within a week large sores or scabs had formed, covering the top of his head where the hair was thickest. His scalp was full of large watery scabs that caused Intense itching and loss of sleep. He would scratch his face until blood appeared many times, and was unusually fretful.during the day and cried at times both day and night. Some of his hair fell out. "I tried some remedies that were recommended to me but these were of no help in relieving him. Through a friend I heard of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The parts that were affect j ed I washed in warm Cuticura Soap | suds, and applied the Cuticura Oint ment afterwards. In about two weeks I they cured it entirely." (Signed) Mrs. ' S. R.
