When All Else Fails.
Every child born into the world with a fuherited or early developed ten- dency to distressing, dis@guring hu- mours of the skin, scalp and blood, becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only because of its suffer- ing, but because of the dreadful fear, that the disfiguration is to be Hfelong and rear its future happiness and pros- perity. Hence, it becomes the duty of mothers of such afflicted children to ac- quaint themselves with the best, the purest and most effective treatment available, viz., The Cuticura Treatment. Warm baths with Cutleura Soap, to cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and scales, gentle applications of Cuticure Ointment, to Itching, Irritation
allay and inflammation, and soothe and beal, and mild doses of Cuticura Hesolvent, to cool the blood in the severer cages, are all that can be desired for the speedy relief and
permanent cure of skin tor tured infants and children, and the com- fort of worn-out parents.
Millions of women use Cuticura Soop, assleted by Caticura Ointment, for pre Berving, purifying and beautifying the stiu, scalp, bair and hands, for annoy ing irritations and weaknesses, and for many sauative, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves.
