BABY fuckers
WONDERFUL CURE
Covered from Head to Foot with
Aumours - Forty BoiIs on Head
at One Time - Doctors and Drug
Bills 500 Baby Grew Worse.
CURED BY CUTlCURA
FOR FIVE DOLLARS

Mrs. George H. Tucker, IT,, AS
Greenfield Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis,
is a grateful mother. "When six
months old" she says, my little girl
weighed a pound and . half less than
at birth. When one month old a scab
formed on her face, spreading until it
completely covered her from head to
foot, followed by boils, having forty
on her head at one time, and more on
her body. Then her skin started to
dry up, and it became so bad she
could not shut her eyes to sleep. One
months treatment with Cuticura Soap
and Ointment made a complete cure,
and o my child is as large, strong.
and healthy as any child Of her age.
The doctors and drug bills were over
one hundred dollars, and my baby
grew worse all the time. Then we
spent less than five dollars for Cuti-
ours and cured her."
