At the First Sign of Disfiguring
HumOrS Is to Use CutiCura.

Every child born into the world
with an inherited tendency to tortur-
ing, disfguring humors of the Skin
and Scalp, becomes an object of the
most tender solicitude, not only be-
cause of its suffering, but because of
the dreadful fear that the designation
is to be lifelong and mar its future
happiness and prosperity. Hence it
becomes the duty of mothers of such
afflicted children to acquaint them
selves with the best, the purest, and
most effective treatment available,
viz: the Cuticura Treatment, consist
ing of warm baths with Cuticura Soap,
and gentle anointings with Cuticura
Ointment, the great Skin Cure. Cures
made in childhood are speedy, per-
manent, and economical.
