Mrs. E. M. Goodwin
Tells How Cuticura
Healed Pimples
" For about four years I wastroubled
with large, red pimples on my face
and neck. They festered
and scaled over and were
very sore. My face was a
sight. I tried different rem
edies but nothing helped
me. I began using Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment
and after I had used one
cake of Cuticura Soap and one box
of Cuticura Ointment I was com
pletely healed." (Signed) Mrs. E.
M. Goodwin, 1234 F St., Sacramento,
California.
When used for every-day toilet
purposes Cuticura Soap not only
cleanses, purifies and beautifies, but
it prevents many little skin troubles
if assisted by occasional use of Cuti
cura Ointment to soothe and heal.
Do not fail to include the exquisitely
scented Cuticura Talcum its your
toilet preparations.
