MISSIONARY WIFE

Futile Baby had Milk-Crust.
BOTH CHILDREN CURED
BY FAMOUS REMEDIES

For several years nv husband was
missionary in the Southwest. and we
were living on the edge of the desert at
an elevation OF nearly five thousand
feet. Every one in that high and dry
atmosphere has more or less trouble
with dandruff and my daughters scalp
became so encrusted with it that I was
alarmed for fear she would lose all her
hair. which was very heavy. After
spending between FIVE and six dollars
for various remedies. in desperation I
bought cake of Cuticura Soap and a
box OF Cuticura Ointment. After rub
blng the Cuticura Ointment thoroughly
combed the crust of dandruff free from
thorough shampoo with the Cuticura
Soap. This left the scalp beautifully
clean and free from dandruf, and after
the hair was dry, / again rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment, this time sparingly,
into the roots. and / am happy to say
that the Cuticura Remedies were a
complete success. My troubles with
dandrlf were over, although for a long
time afterward l used the Cuticura
Ointment as at first. after shampooing,
which kept the scalp and roots Of the
hair moist. / have used successfully
the Cuticura Remedies for so-called
'milk-crust' on baby's head, and have
never found anything to equal them.
