BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what ii was to sleep we'll from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good We

we did not use all of them until he
