less Hands Were Tied-"Would
Have Died But for cuticura."

my little son, when about a year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. | had a physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come on
his arms, then on other parts of his
body and then one came on his chest,
worse than the others. Then | called
another physician. Still he grew
worse. At the end of about a year
and half of suffering he grew so bad
l had to tie his hands in cloths at
night to keep him from scratching the
sores and tearing the flesh. He got to
be a mere skeleton, and was hardly
able to walk. My aunt advised me to
try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. /
sent to the drug store and got cake
of the Soap and a box of the Oint-
ment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since. He is now strong and healthy,
and l can sincerely say that only for
your most wonderful remedies my
precious child would have died from
those terrible sores. Mrs. Egbert
