to my own case. my baby boy, then about 5
months old, was suffering with what supposed
to be the same disease as mine, to such an ex
tent that his head was coated over with solid
scab from which there was constant flow OF
pus which was sickening to look upon. besides
two large tumor-ike kernels on the back of his
head Thanks to your wonderful CUTICURA
REMEDIES his scalp is perfectly well, and the
kernels have been scattered SO that there is
only one little place by his left ear, and that
is healing nicely. Instead Of coating Of scabs
he has fine coat offair. much better than that
which was destroyed by the disease. | would
that the whole world of sufferers from skin and
