Baby's Awful
Itching Eczema

Could Not Tell

Unable to Sseep--Grew
Worse Under Doctors.
Cured by Cuticura i'm
One Month.

A grateful mother. in the follow.
ing letter, tells OF another OF those
marvellous cures by Cuticura:
When my baby was four months
old her skin broke out with a
humor. | took her to a doctor, who
said 1t was eczema. He gave me
medicine to give her, but she kept
getting worse all the time. Her lit
tie face and body were so covered
with sores and large scales YOU
could not tell what she looked like.
No child ever had a worse case. Her
face was being eaten away, and even
her finger nails fell off. Then it
ltched so she could not sleep, and
tor many weary nights we could set
no rest. At last we got Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, first bathing
her IN warm water with the Soap,
and then spreading on the Oint..
ment with soft cloths. | saw
change in week. The sores DC
gan to heal, and she could sleep at
night, and in one month she had
not one sore on her face or body.
Any mother having children with
eczema or humors will find a friend
in Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
(Signed) Mrs. Mary Sanders, 7oo
