In TORRENTS With Terrible Sores on
Face and Body-Tore at Flesh
-Cured nv Cuticura

MY little son, when about year and
q half old, began to have sores come out
on his face. 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. Still he grew worse. At the
end of about year and half of suffering
he grew SO bad had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from scratch
ing the sores and tearing the flesh. He got
to be mere skeleton and was hardly able
to walk. sent to the drug store and got
cake of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuti-
cura Ointment and at the end of about
two months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind since,
and 7 can sincerely say that only for
the Cuticura Remedies my precious child
would have died from those terrible sores.
