lNT0LERABLE ITCHING.
Fearful Eczema All Over Baby's Face
professional Treatment Failed.
A Perfect Cure by cuticura.

when my little girl was six months
old | noticed small red spots on her
right cheek. They grew so large that
l sent for the doctor but, instead Of
helping the eruption. his ointment
seemed to make 1t worse. Then
went to a second doctor who said 1t
was eczema. He also gave me an oint-
ment which did not help either. The
disease spread all over the face and
the eyes began to swell. The itching
grew intolerable and II was a terrible
sight to see. l consulted doctors for
months, but they were unable to cure
the baby. l paid out from $40 to $50
without relief. Oae evening ! began
to use the Cuticura Remedies. The
next morning the baby's face was all
white instead of red | continued until
the eczema entirely disappeared. Mrs.
