GIRL BABY'S
 AWFUL ECZEMA
Sight of Eye Destroyed by Disease Tried Five Doctors but Grew Worse In Agony Eight Months Parents Discouraged, Until They Tried Cuticura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
 SORES DISAPPEARED

"Our little girl, one year and a half old was taken witR. eczema or that was what the doctor sad it was. We called in the family doctor and he gave some tablets and said she would be all right in few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in doctor No. 2. He said she was teething, as soon as the teeth were through she would be all right. But she still grew worse. Doc tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this time she was nothing but yellow, greenish sore. Well, he said he could help her, so we let him try it about a week. One morning we discovered a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor No. 3. He came over and looked her over and said that he could not do any thing more for her, that we had better take her to some eye specialist, since it was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to doctor No. i, and he said the eye sight was gone, but that he could help it. We thought we would try doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the same, only he charged S10 more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly discouraged. I saw one of the Cuticura advertisements in the paper and thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so l went and purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me S1, and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great improve ment, and in one week all sores had dis appeared. Of course it could not re- store the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura in time I am confident that it would have saved the eye. We think there is no remedy so good for any skin trouble or impurity of the blood as Cuticura. MT. and Mrs. Frank Abbott, IA n NA r.It To
