SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.
Baby Boy Had Intense Itching Humor
Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Found a Cure in Cuticura.

"Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with a rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks l took him
to the doctor but it got worse. The
rash ran together and made large
bisters. The little fellow didn't want
to do anything but scratch and we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till the
blood would run. The itching was in
tense. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark Of a
tree. He suffered intensely for about
three months. But l found a remedy
in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment. The result was almost mag
ical. That was more than two years
ago and there has not been the Slight
