tin Roosevelt's snakes have proved
equal to the task Of preserving the
requisite calm.

LITTLE BABY CURED OF ECZEMA Parents Applied to Hospitals and Doctors but Could Get No Re- Iief-Grew Worse Under Doctors Prescription = Friends Recom- mended Cuticura Result
A SPEEDY AND
 PERMANENT CURE

"We express to you herewith our best thanks for the cure of our baby from eczema. The eczema appeared when thc child was thrce months old We applied to several doctors and hospitals, each of which gave us something differ ent every time, but nothing brought re- lief. A physician recommended salve which we threw into the fire after two days use as the eczema became worse so that the baby scratched his face. At last, one of our friends recommended to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment. A few days afterwards improve ment could be noted. Since then we have used nothing but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby is six months old and is quite cured. All that we used was one cake of Cuti- cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Oint- ment, costing in all SIPS. Even the poorest man can pay that instead of throwing it into the doctors lap. 1 myself only make twelve dollars week as teamster, but l recommend the Cuticura Remedies strongly to all moth CTS whose children suffer from such dis eases. They are cheap, harmless and good. c. F. Kara and Wife, 343 East Goth Street, New York, March 30, 19O6."
