Cured by Cuticura.

"My six year old daughter had the dread
full disease called hives for two months.
She became afflicted by playing with chill
dren who had it. By scratching she caused
large sores which were irritating. Her
body was a complete sore but it was worse
on her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine but it did not
help her and | tried several remedies but
without avail. Seeing the Cuticura Rene
dies advertised, | thought l would try
them. | gave her a hot bath daily with

disease disappeared. Mrs. G. L. Fridhoff,
