Awful Suffering Of a Boy
from an itching
HumOur.
CURED BY CUTICURA
Not One Square Inch of Skin on
His Whole Body Was
Unaffected.

"My little son, a boy Of Eve, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try 8 certain medical college, but
its treatment did not do any good. At
the time / was induced TO try Cuticura
Remedies he wa so bad that / had to
cut his hair on and put the Cuticura
Ointment on him on bandages, as It was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There Was not n square inch
Of skin on his whole body that was not
Affected. He was one mass OF sores.
The bandages used to stick to his skin
and in removing them It used 20 take
the skin of with them, and the screams
from the poor child were heart-break-
ing. / began to think that he would
never get well, but after the second
application Of Cuticura Ointment I
began to see signs Of Improvement,
and with the third and fourth applica-
tons the sores commenced TO dry up.
His skin peeled OF twenty times, but Il
finally Yielded to the treatment. / used
the Cuticura Resolvent for his blood,
and now ! can say that he is entirely
cured, and 3 stronger and healthier boy
you never saw than he is to-day

WHAT WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW

CARE OF TENDER GUMs.--I cannot un-
derstand why my gums should be 50
sensitive when brusf, my teeth three
or four times day. Can you suggest
any cause or remedy7-MarIe,
Your trouble is probably due to harsh
toothbrush and dentifrice, and you have
also rather overdone the cleaning. Three
vigorous hrushings daily Is too much
when very stiff brush is
used; the gums are kept In a constant
state of irritation by this method, and
instead of preventing dentists bills, will
increase them, as the loose filings and
tender gums indicate. To relieve the sore
gums, obtain one ounce of tincture of
capticum and apply to all the tender spots
with a soft camels hair brush. Be very
particular to go around the edges Of the
gums which show a tendency to recede
from the teeth. For few days, until the
soreness is relieved, clean the teeth by
washing with a bit of absorbent cotton
wound on the end Of an orangewood stick,
first dipping It into warm water and then
into plain precipitated chalk. Rinse the
mouth; then use dental floss to remove
all particles from between the teeth, and
rinse thoroly again. Discard your stiff
toothbrush and substitute one with soft,
fine bristles. Have the following reliable
tooth powder prepared by your druggist:
One-half ounce Of orris root one-four
ounce OF powdered white CASTLE soap, one
ounce of precipitated chalk and one-
fourth ounce Of Cassia powder. Use this
twice a day-at morning and at night be-
fore retiring.
