NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

my son. a boy Of five, broke out
with an itching rash. Three doctors
prescribed for him. but he kept getting
worse until we could not dress him any
more. A medical colleges treatment did
no good. He was SO bad that it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was not
affected. He was one mass of sores.
The bandages used to stick to his skin
and in removing them it used to take
the skin off with them, and the screams
from the poor child were heartbreaking.
began to think that he would never
get well. but after the second appIica-
tion OF Cuticura Ointment l began to
see signs OF improvement. and with the
third and fourth applications the sores
commenced to dry UP. His skin peeled
of twenty times, but it finally yielded
to the treatment. Now | can say that
he Is entirely cured, and stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day. twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,
