Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten

mours Of the skin, scalp and blood, be-
comes an object Of the most tender so
licitude, not only because Of its suffer-

that the designation is to be lifelong
and mar its future happiness and pros

mothers Of such afflicted children to ac-
quaint themselves with the best, the
purest and most effective treatment
available, viz, The Cuticura Treatment.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soap to
cleanse the skin and scalp Of crusts and
scales, gentle applications of Cuticura
Ointment, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and mild doses Of Cuticura ResolVent
Pills, to cool the blood in the severer
cases, are all that can be desired for the
alienation of the suffering of skin tor
tured infants and children, and the COM
fort of WORKOUT parents.
Millions of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and identifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts,
scales and dandruf, and the stopping
Of falling hair, for ~softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore hands,
for baby rashes, itchings and chaings,
in the form Of washes for annoying
i~rritatioDs and inlammations, and for
many sanative, a~ntiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves.
