CUTICURA REMEDIES.

Our little son will be four years of age on the
25th inst. In May, 1895, he was attacked with
very painful breaking out of the skin. We called
in physician who treated him for about four
weeks. The child received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking out supposed by
the physician to be hives in aggravated form
became larger in blotcheS and more and more
distressing. We were frequently obliged to get
up in the night and rub him with soda in water
strong liniments, etc Finally. we called other
physicians. until no less than six had attempted
to cure him, all alike failing, and the child
steadily getting worse and worse, until about
the goth of last July, when we began to give him
CUTIcURA REsoLvENT internally, and the CUTI
CuRA SOAP externally, and by the last Of August
he was so nearly well that we gave him only one
dose of the REsoLvENT about every second day
for about ten days longer, and he has never been
troubled since with the horrible malady. In all
we used less than one half of bottle of CUTI-
CURA REsoLvENT, little less than one box of
CUTICURA, and only one cake of CUTICURA SOAP.
