TORTURING DISFIGURING HUMOURS

ITCHING, BURNING, AND SCALY ERUPTIONS OF THE SKIN AND SCALP, WITH LOSS OF HAIR.

The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, as in Eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in scalled head; the facial disfigurement, as in pimples and `ringworm; the awful suffering of infants and the anxiety of wom-out parents, as in milk-crust, tetter, and salt rheum--all demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with them. That Cuticura remedies are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No state- ment is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evi- dence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford 'immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy, have made them the standard skin cures and hu- mour remedies of the civilized world.

Those who have suffered long and hopelessly and who bave lost faith in doctors and medicines may make trial of these great curatives with the most gratifying success. The treatment is simple, direct, agreeable, and economical, and is adapted to the youngest infant as well as adults of every age. Bathe the affected parts with Hot Water and Cuticure Soap to chance the-surface of crusts and scales, and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura qiu!- ment freely, to allay itching, irritation, and inflammation, and soothe ana keal, and lastly take the Cuticura Resolvent to cool and cleanse the blood. This sweet and wholesome treatment affords instant relief, permits rest and sleep in the severest forms of eczema and other itching, burning, and scaly humours of the skin, scalp, and blood, and points to a speedy, permanent, and economical cure when all other remedies and even the best physicians fail. The SET, consisting of Soup, Ointment, and Resolvent, or each separately, may be had of all chemists and storeS where medicines are sold throughout the world.
