From Infancy to Age
Speedily Cured by Cuticura
When All Else Fails.

The agonizing itching and burning Of
the skin, as in Eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting Of the scalp, as in SCALED
head; the facial dishgurements, rs in
acne and ringworm; the awful suffer-
ing of infants, and anxiety of worm
out parents, as in milk crust, letter and
salt rheum,-all demand remedy of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Resolvent are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evil
dence The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, tho
certainty o. speedy and permanent cure,
the absolute safety and great economy,
have made them the standard skin
cures, blood purifiers and humour rene-
dies of the civilized word.
Bathe the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales and soften
the thickened cuticlc. Dry, without
rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint-
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, take Cuticura Resolvent, to
cool and cleanse the blood. This COM
plete local and constitutional treatment
affords instant relief, permits rest and
sleep in the severest forms of eczema
and other itching, burning and scaly
humours of the skin, scalp and blood,
and points to a speedy, permanent and
economical cure when all else fails.

New York. The Rev William II. j.
Reany, chaplain, U. S. N. and the

Island parish, have joined the secret

of fraternal society. and it is well
