The Worlds Greatest
Skin Torture
Many Infants are Born
with Eczema
It's the Only Thing Some Folks
Have Left When They Die
THE ONLY INFALLIBLE
CURE is CUTICURA

It is in the treatment Of this most dis
tressing of torturing and disfguring
skin and scalp humours, with loss OF
hair, that the Cuticura remedies have
achieved their greatest success. Origi-
nal in composition, scientifically COM
pounded, absolutely pure, Interchangeable
in any climate, always ready, and agree
able to the most delicate, they present to
those suffering from Eczema the most
successful curative of modern times. We
know that this will be considered strong
language by those acquainted with the
character and obstinacy of the disease
under consideration, but it is justified
by innumerable successes where oil the
remedies and methods in vogue have
failed to cure, and, in many cases, to
relieve, even.
The first step in the treatment of the
chronic forms is to remove the scales and
crusts and soften the skin, by warm
baths with Cuticura Soap. The scalp,
ears, elbows, hands, ankles and feet will
require frequently thorough soaking in
order to penetrate the thickened skin
and crusts with which these parts are
often covered. Dry carefully, and ap-
ply Cuticura Ointment, lightly at first,
and where advisable spread it on pieces
of soft cloth and bind in place. Take
the Resolvept, pills or liquid, in medium
oses. Do not use cold water in bath

In nothing does Paris differ from
