Last year, after having my little

stefan for an obstinate case OF &c

edies, and was so we'll pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
cd that we discarded the physicians
prescription and relied entirely on the
Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six weeks we had her
completely WELL and there has been no
recurrence of the trouble.
In July of this year, little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
mass of torturing Sores We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, washing
his hands and arms with the Cut:cura
Soap. and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment. and then gave him
the Cuticura Resolvent. In about three
weeks his hands and arms healed up.
So we have lots Of cause for feeling
grateful for the Cuticura Remedies We
find that the Cuticura Remedies are a
valuable household standby, living as
we do twelve miles from doctor. Mrs.
