quarter of an inch thick. It was aw-
full to see SO small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to nut his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came of. I'm.
