SHORT AND LONG COURBÈS.

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 me 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. Herlace was being eaten away, and even her finger nails fell off. Then it itched so she could not sleep, and for many weary nights we could get no rest. At last we got Cuticura Soap and Oint acut, first bathing her in warm water with the Soap, and iben spreading on the Ointment with soft cloths. I saw a change in a week. The aores began to heal, and she could sleep at night, and in one month she had not one sore on her face or body. Any mother having children with eczema of humours will find a friend in Caticura Scap and Ointment. (signed) Mrs. Mary Sanders, 709 Spring St., Camden, NJ., Aug. 14, 1904."
