TINY BABY's PITIFUL CASE

"Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked Just like skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first 1t seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel of leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared heavy scab a
quarter Of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put 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 1t came OF. Un-
der this. where the real matter was.
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is fine
picture of fat little baby and all is
we'll. We only used one cake OF Cuti-
cura Soap. two boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-
