About four years ago | had a very Sc

My skin peeled, and the high fever played
havoc with my hair, which came out in

on my back. / did not gain very rapidly,
and my appetite was very poor. i tried
many sure cures but they were of little

/ had had no real relief. Then my com
plexion cleared and soon felt better. The
bed sores went very soon after a few appli-
cations of Cuticura Ointment, and when 1
used Cuticura Soap and Ointment for my
hair, it began to regain its former glossy
