The Most Wonderful Curative of All Time

For Torturing, Disfiguring Skin Humours

And Purest and Sweetest of Tollet Emollients.

Catteurs Olutment is beyond question the most successful curative for tortur- ing, disfiguring humours of the skin and scalp, including loss of hair, ever compounded, in proof of which a single anointing preceded by a hot bath with Caticura Suap, and followed la the severor cases, by a dose of Dash- cura Resolvent, fa often sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most distressing forms of itching, burring and scaly bumoats, permit rest and sleep, and point to a speedy caro when all other remedies fall. It is especially so in the treatment of infants and chi- dren, cleansing, soothing and healing the most distressing of infantile hu mours, and preserving, purifying and beautifying the skin, scald and hair.

Calicors Ointment possesses, at the Fame time, the charm of satisfying the simple wants of the tollct, in caring for the skin, scalp, bair, hands and feet, from infancy age, far more effect- ually, agreeably and economically than the most expensive of tollst emolliente. Its "Instant relief for skin-tortured bables," or " Sanative,cntiasptic cleans- ing," or "One-night treatment of the hands or feet," or "Single treatment of the hair," or "Use after athletics," cycling, golf, tennis, riding, sparrlag, or any pork, each in connection with the use of Cuticara Soap, is suficient evidence of this.
