KEEP BABY's SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es- timable lives have been embittered and social and business success pre- vented by serious skin affections which so often result from the neglect of minor eruptions in infancy and childhood. With but little care and the use of the proper emollients, baby's skin and hair may be preserved, puri- fled and beautified, minor eruptions prevented from becoming chronic and torturing, disfguring rashes, itchings, irritations and chafings dispelled.
 To this end, nothing is so pure, so sweet, so speedily effective as the con- stant use of Cuticura Soap, assisted, when necessary, by Cuticura Ointment. Send to Potter Drug & Chem. Corp, sole proprietors, Boston, for their free 32-page Cuticura Book, telling all about the care and treatment of the skin.
