SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR \My mother used to have a very bad tumor on her head which the doctors galled an eczema, and for it I had two different doctors. Her head was very sore and her hair nearly all fell out In spite of what they both did. One lay her niece came in and they were speaking of how her hair was falling out and the doctors did it no good. She says, 'Aunt, why dod't you try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment?' Mother did and they helped her. In six months' time the itching, burning and scaling of her head was over and her hair began growing. To day she feels muck in debt to Cuti- curs Soap and Ointment for the fine bead of hair she has for an old lady of seventy-four. \My own case was an eczema in my feet. As soon as the cold weather tame my feet would itch and burn and then they would crack open and bleed. Then I thought I would flee to my mother's friends, Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
