CURED BY CUTICURA

IN ONE MONTH

A grateful mother, in the following let. ter, tells of another of those marvellous cures by Cuticura: "When my baby was four months old her skin broke out with a humour. I took her to a doctor, who said it was eczema, He gave the medicine to give her, but she kept get- ting worse all the time. Her little face and body were so covered with sores and large scales you could not tell what she looked like. No child ever had a worse case. Her face was being catenaway, and even her finger nails fell off. Then it itched so she could not ieleep, and for many weary nights we could get no rest. At last we got Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment, first bathing her in Warm with the Soap, and then spreading on the Ointment with soft cloths. I saws change in a week. The sores began to heal, and she could sleep at night, and is one month she had not one sore on her face or body. Any mother having children with eczema or humours will fad a friend in Cuticura Soap and Ointment. (signed) Mrs. Mary Sanders, 709 Spring St., Camden, N. J., Aug.14, 1904.1
