it may be safely eaten by young child,
none but the most beneficial results can
be expected to attend its application to
even the tenderest skin or youngest
infant. This feeling Is shared by
mothers and nurses to such an extent
that Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment have for many years been unhesi-
tatingly used throughout the civilized
world for preserving, purifying and
beautifying the skin, scalp, hair and
hands of infants and children from the
hour Of birth. And greater still, il
possible, is the confidence reposcd in
Cuticura Remedies for the treatment Of
torturing and disfigllring humors of the
skin and scalp. The suffering which
they have thus alleviated among the
young and the comfort they have af-

have led to their adoption in countless
homes as priceless agents in the speedy,
permanent, safe and economical treat

scaly and pimply humors when all other
remedies suitable for children fail.
