without results. called in three doc

her, but she continued to grow worse.
Her body was mass of sores, and her
little face was eaten away, her ears
looked as if they would drop off.
Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, and before 1 had
used half of the cake of soap and
box of ointment the sores had all
healed, and my little ones face and
body was as clear as newborn babes.

cents, which is all it cost us to cure
our baby, after spending many dollars
on doctors and medicines without any
benefit whatever.
