"My little baby was taken all over his head and face with running eczema. He was a porfect sight with the eruption in great masses. It itched dreadfully, and 1 took him to the doctor. He was under the doctor's care for about two months, but it did not cure him at all, I also tried several other treatments but his suffering kept right on. When he was nearly four months old, I was persuaded to try Cuticura, Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I had only one. gake of Cuticura Hoap and one ti of Cuticura Ointment and they cured him In no time. At present he is the picture of health. What I have told you is the honest truth.
