"Our baby had that dreadful COM

him for several months, commencing at

his whole body. His suTerings were
untold and constant misery, in fact,
there WIS nothing we would not have
done to have given him relief The

after various experiments of his, which
resulted in no benefit TO the child, we

a full set of the Cuticurs Remedies and
applied as per directions. and he began
TO improve Immediately, and in about
three or four days began TO show
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time In year. In about ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception of rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by healthy one.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies
