3 Cakes Cuticura Soap
and 2 Boxes of Ointment
Healed Pimples on Face
"Big red and hard pimples began all
over my face. They came to a head
and were scattered. They burned caus
ing me to scratch and ir
. ' ritate my face, and they
also caused loss of sleep.
'l* K * tr ' e a kinds °' sa ' ves
and soaps but they did not
r help me any, and I had
Jv / the trouble for over eight
months and a half. Then
I used Cuticura Soap and
' Ointment and I used three
cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes
of Cuticura Ointment for two months
when I was completely healed." (Signed)
Frank Geklinsky, 1290 Mine St., R. F.
D. 1, Taylor, Pa., January 29, 1917.
It is easy to prevent skin and scalp
troubles by using Cuticura Soap, and no
other, for all toilet .purposes, assisted
now and then by touches of Cuticura
Ointment to first signs of pimples,
rashes, dandruff or irritation. Bathe
with Cuticura Soap and hot water, dry
lightly and apply Cuticura Ointment.
At once the itching ceases, sleep and
rest follow, and complete healment in
most cases results in continued use of
these fragrant super-creamy emollients.
Absolutely nothing better.
