"I feel it my duty to tell you of two most, wonderful cures of core eyes by Cuticura Vistment. My little son had ap attack of measles which left his eyes in a shocking state. The lids were in- Jamed and sore, and every lash fell out. They would be stuck in the morning, and bleed when washed, causing untold suffering to the child. I tried
|everything recommended, but nothing did any good, Then I got Cuticura, and from the first application I have had cause fo be thank- ful. Before I had used one box of Chll- cura the lashes showed signs of growing. and at the end of a few months they were as healthy as ever, I recontmended Cati- cura to a Mrs. Phillips. for her child who also had sore eyes, and the Bttle one was cured with less than one box.
