SCALP TROUBLE FOR YEARS 268 Harrison St., Elyria, Ohio.—"My case was a scalp trouble. I first no ticed small bunches on my scalp which commenced to itch and I would scratch them and In time they got larger, forming a scale or scab with a little pus, and chunks of hair would come out when I would scratch them off. It caused me to lose most of my hair. It became thin and dry and life less. I was troubled for over tea years with It until It got so bad I was ashamed to go to a barber to get my hair cut. "I tried everything I could get hold of,-and-, but received no cure until I commenced using Cuticu ra Soap and Ointment when the scale commenced to disappear. The way I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment was to wash my scalp twice a day with warm water and Cuticura Soap and rub on the Cuticura Ointment. I received benefit In a couple of weeks and was cured in two months.” (Signed) F. J. Busher, Jan. 28, 1913. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free,with 32-p.
