Child Suffered With Dry Eczema
On Head Formed Bare Patch. Broke Out in Pimples. Cutictura Perfectly Healed in a Fortnight.
"My little girl suffered with dry eczema on the top of her head causing her to scratch, andil it bled. This went 'on férabout six months and then it formed" a bare patch about the size of a sixpence, and afterward broke out at the back of her head in big pimples.
Seeing Cuticura Soap and Ointment advertised we decided to try them. The effect was marvelous and my little giri was perfectly healed in about a fort- night." (Signed) Mrs. S. Scraton, 4, De Silva St., Huyson Quarry, Nr. Liverpool, Eng. Aug. 11, 1916.
Cucura Soap to cleanse and purify, and Ointment to soothe and heal are not only wonderful healers but wonderful preventives of skin and scalp troubles. Address: Samples Free by Post. F.Newbery & Som, 27, Charterhouse S London, Sold everywhere.
