Emma White — 641 Cherrier Place
Tri-County Chronicle, Cass City, Michigan –
DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA
“I suffered with eczema six months. I had tried three doctors, but did not get any better. It was on my body and on my feet so thick that I could hardly put a pin on me without touching eczema. My face was covered, my eyebrows came out, and then it got in my eye. I then went to another doctor. He asked me what I was taking for it, and I told him Cuticura. He said that was a very good thing, but that he thought that my face would be marked for life. But Cuticura did its work, and my face is now just as clear as it ever was. I told all my friends about my remarkable cure. I feel so thankful I want everybody far and wide to know what Cuticura can do. It is a sure cure for eczema.”
Mrs. Emma White, 641 Cherrier Place, Camden, N.J., April 25, 1905.
