Bleeding Eczema Until Cured

"No tongue came : tell how I suffered
1 \ , ; for five years with a terribly painful ,
itching , and bleeding eczema , my
body and face being covered with
sores. Never In my life did I experi-
ence such awflll suffering , and I
longed for death , which I felt was
near. I had tried doctors and medicines .
cines without success , but my mother
( ' insisted that I try Clltlcnl'U. I felt
. . , better after time first bath with Clltl-
curu Soap and one application of Cutl-
