BABY'SAWFUL HUMOR
Eighteen Months Baby's Intense
Suffering. Gould Only Sleep
Under Opiates.
Thought Ear Would Slough OFF
Every Known Remedy Tried.
Physicians Skill Baf7ed.
Mother Distracted Tried the
Cuticura Remedies. Noticed
Relief in One Week.
PERFECT CURE IN TWO MONTHS
A SWORN STATEMENT.

When my little daughter, May, was eigh-
teen months old, her head and face broke
out In one solid mass Of bleeding sores, and
one OF her ears was so affected, that the doc
tor thought at one time that it would slough
off. Her suffering was intense, getting no
rest at all, unless under the influence of OPT
ates. The physician tried every known REM
edy, but seemed to be baf1ed, and instead of
getting better, her head, face, and ear seemed
to get worse all the time. Distracted with
her condition, l did not know what to do,
until one day was advised to try CUTICURA
REMEDIES. l purchased the CUTIoURA RE-
SOLVENT, SOAP, and OINTMENT, and persist
emily used the remedies.
BEFORE the first aoeek noticed that the little
sufferer aUas beginning to get relief l admin
istered the REsoLvENT inwardly, when I
bathed her with the SOAP and used the OINT-
MENT freely, and in less than taco n1onths my
little darling was entirely cured and auell and
she got as fat as little pig. 1t is now over
two years since that happy event took place,
and not a symptom of the dreadful disease
has ever returned. She is bright, and no
marks whatever are to be seen from the
effects. You are at liberty to use this as you
see fit, and l will gladly answer any and all
inquiries made to me with reference to the
above stated facts. MRS. JAMES MELTON,
