BOY Covered with Scabs.
lMy boy, aged nine years, has :abeen troubled
all his life with a very bad humor, which ap-
peared all over his body in small red blotches,
with dry, white scab on them. Last year he
was worse than ever, being ,vered with scabs
from the top Of his head to his feet. and con-
tinually growing worse. although he had been
deter mined to try the CUTIcURA REMEDIES,
and am happy to say they did all that could
wish. Using them according to directions, the
