NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

My little son, 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 l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that l had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint.
ment on him on bandages, as it 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 it used
to talk the skin off with them. and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. l began to think that
ne would never get we'll. but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint,
ment I 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 I can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
