CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Our baby had that dreadful COM
plant, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
the top of his head, and at last covering
his whole body. His sufferings were
untold and constant misery, in fact,
there was nothing we would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed to be wholly
incapable of coping with the case, and
after various experiments of his, which
resulted in no benefit to the child, we
sent to Macon, ILL.,, to druggist and got
full set of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
TO improve Immediately, and in about
three or four days began to show q
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in year. In about ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception of a rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by healthy one.
"Praise for the Cuticura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that We
could say in their favor, for they GER
tainly saved our baby's life, for he was
the most awful sight that ever beheld,
