COULD NOT STAND SUFFERING
FROM SKIN ERUPTION
“I have been using Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment for the past
three months and I am glad to say
that they cured me of a most annoy-
ing skin eruption. It began by my no-
ticing red blotches appearing on my
face and scalp. Although they were
rather disfiguring, I did not think any-
thing of them until they began to get
scaly and dry and to Itch and burn
until 1 could not stand the suffering.
Then I began to use a different soap,
thinking that my old kind might be
hurting me. but that didn’t seem to do
any good. I went to two different doc-
tors but neither seemed to relieve me
any. I lost many nights' sleep In con-
tinual scratching, sometimes scratch-
ing till I drew the blood on my face
and head. Then I started In to use
the Cuticura Remedies and in two
months I was entirely relieved of that
awful pest. I am so delighted over
my cure by Cuticura Remedies that I
shall be glad to tell anybody about
It.” (Signed) G. M. Macfarland. 221

You will probably admit, madame, that you are not
fond of handling and shoveling coal, and that you
dislike to see smoke pouring from the chimney of
your home, leaving a sooty trail in its wake. Also,
very likely, you will agree confidentially, that you
dislike chopping kindling and that you never saw
anyone empty the kitchen ashes without spilling
some. No doubt you take a pride in the spotless-
ness of your kitchen and find coal dust and soot
therein very annoying.
