NEAR DYING
From an Awful Skin Humour Covering Entire Body-Scratched Till Blood Ran-Wasted to Skeleton-Hands Like Claws-Cuticura Brings Blessed Relief and Speedy Cure.
"WOULD HAVE DIED
BUT FOR CUTICURA"
"When my little boy was three months old his head broke out with a rash, which was very itchy and ran considerable watery fluid. We tried everything we could, but he got worse all the time till it spread to his arms, legs, and then to his eutire body, and he came near dying. It itched so he would scratch till the blood ran, and a thin yellowish stuff would be all over his pillow in the morning. I had to put mittens on his hands to keep him from tearing his skin. He got so weak he took fainting spells and we would think him dying. He was almost a skel- eton and his little hands were thin like claws.
Tie was bad about eight months when we tried Cuticura. I had not laid him down in his cradle in the daytime for a long time. He had got so that he just slept in our arms all the time.
FO
1 washed him with Cuticura Soup and put on one application of Cuticura Ointment and he was so soothed that I him in the cradle. You don't know glad I felt when he felt better. It took one box of Cutietra Ointment, pretty near rone cake of Cuticura:
a Soap, and about half a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, to cure. I think he would have died only for the Cuticura."
