It took mo mostly all over my back and kept getting worse until finally my back was covered with a msss of pimples which would burn and Itch at night so that I could hardly stand It. This condition kept getting worse and worse until my back was a solid mass of big sores which would break open and run. My underclothing would be a clot of blood.

Now I am in good health and no sign of any skin diseases and I am fully satisfied that Cutlcura Remedies are the best ever made for skla diseases. I would not be without them." (Signed) W. A.
