BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

my little son, when about a year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out, on his face. I had physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end Of about
year and half of suffering he grew
SO bad that had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
my aunt advised me to try Cuti.
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I
sent to a drug store and got cake of
