"Resinol Ointment cured an obsti

my little ten year old boys leg, after
various other salves had signally
failed. The trouble had existed for
six months, and nothing seemed to
do any good until we procured a Jar
Of Resinol, which quickly cured him.
1t has now become a household rene

Soap in daily use by the children, and
their skin, health and complexion are
perfect"
Resinol Ointment can be positively
relied on to give instant relief and
quickly cure the torturing skin dis
eases Of infancy and childhood. For
eczema, nettle rash, chatting, disfg-
uring pimples and itching eruptions Of
all kinds, it Is prompt and sure
remedy.
Every family should be safe-guarded
with Resinol preparations-Res
Ointment to cure the skin troubles
that now and then occur; Resinol
Soap to use regularly for the toilet
and bath, to keep the skin pure and
healthy and preserve the complexion.
Resinol Medicated Shaving Stick is
also the best and safest to use, be-
cause it keeps the face free from erup-

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT
watch lifters.

my little son, a boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time I was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was SO bad that had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura ONT
ment on him on bandages, as 1t 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 1t used
to take the skin of with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. l began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application Of Cuticura Oint-
ment l began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled of twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now l can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,
