CUTICURA Soap, Ointment and Pills the Worlds Greatest
 Skin Cures. PRICE THE SET $I Complete Treatment for Every RumOuT. from PimpIeS
 tO SCrOfuIa.

The agonlzing 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 sealed head; the facial dishguFement, as in pimples and ringwormi the awful suffering of infants and the anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tet- ter and salt rheum, all demand 6 rem edy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety aud great economy, have made them the stand ard skin cures and humour remedies of the civilized world.
 The grandest testimonial that can be offered the Cuticura remedies is their worldwide sale, due to the personal recommendations of those who have used them. From a small beginning in the simplest form, against prejudice and opposition, against monied hosts, countless rivals, and trade indifference, Cuticura remedies have become the greatest curatives of their time, and, in fact, of all time. for nowhere in the history of medicine is to be found another approaching them in popularity and sale In every cline and with every people they have met with the same reception. The confines of the earth are the only limits to their growth. They have conquered the world.
