BOY’S TERRIBLE ECZEMA.

Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts —Hands Pinned Down—Miraculous Cure by Cuticura “When my little boy was six months old, he had eczema. The sores extended so quickly over the whole body that we at once called in the doctor. We then went to another doctor, but he could not help him, and in our spair wd went to a third one. Matters became so bad that he had regular holes In his cheeks, large enough to put a finger Into. The food had to be given with a spoon, for his mouth was covered with crusts as thick as a finger, and whenever ho opened the mouth they began to bleed and suppurate, as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest and back, in short the whole body, was covered over and over. We had no rest by day or night. Whenever he was laid in his bed, we had to pin his han u s down; otherwise he would scratch his face, and make an open sore. I think his face must have Itched most fearfully. “We finally thought nothing could help, and I had made up my mind to send my wife with the child to Eu rope, hoping that the sea air might cure him, otherwise he was to be put under good medical care there. But, Lord be blessed, matters came differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. We made a trial with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, and within ten days or two weeks we noticed a decided improvement. Just as quickly as the sickness had appeared it also began to disappear, and within ten weeks the child was absolutely well, and his skin was smooth and white as never before. F.
