A New York friend of Cuticura writes, the following interesting letter:~~~

"When a search was made for the box, it was found empty and the ki admitted that he had eaten the con- tants of the entire box spread on the crackers. It cured him of a bad cold and I don't know what else,”

No more conclusive evidence than the above could be offered that every Ingredient of Cuticura Ointment is ab solutely pure, sweet and harmless. If it may be safely eaten by a young child, none but the most beneficial results can be exposted to attend its application to even the tenderest skin or youngyst" Infant.
