SCHILD AND

Something for Mothers to Think About EVERY CHILD born into the world with an inherited or early developed tendency to distressing, disfiguring humours of the skin, scalp, and blood, becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only because of its suf- fering but because of the dreadful fear that the disfigura- tion is to be lifelong and mar its future happiness and prosperity. Hence it becomes the duty of mothers of such afflicted children to acquaint themselves with the best, the purest, and most effective treatment available, viz., THE CUTICURA TREATMENT.

Warm baths with CUTICURA SOAP, to cleanse the skin of crusts and scaica and soften the thickened cuticle, gentle anointings with CUTICULA OINT- MENT, to instantly allay itching, irritation, and inflammation, and soothe and heal, to be followed in the soverer cases by mild doses of CUTICURA RESOL VENT PILLS (see below), to cool and cleanso the blood, are all that can be desired for the alleviation of the suffering of skin-tortured Infants and children and the comfort of worn-out, worried mothers. A angle set is often sufficient to cure when the best physicians fail.

Millions of Women Use Cuticura Soap

Assisted by CUTICURA OINTMENT, for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for leaning the Perle of crusts, reales, and dandruft, and the stopping of falling hair, for Roftening, whitening, and soothing red, rough, and soro hands, to baby washes, itchings, and chaings, in the form of bathe for annoying Irritatione aud inflammations, or too fres or offensivo perspiration, in the form of washes for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sentive, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, especially mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, aua nursery.

CCTICUTA RESOLVENT PILLS (Chocolate Coated) are prepared to meet the wants of dalierto women, and sensitive.children, and are pure, sweet, and tasteless. They are boyond question the most successful blood purifiers and humour cures yet compounded.
