BGBYs HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale. Then Il would break out
again and II spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over IN red bumps and
It kept spreading until It was on his
hands and arms. / bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors 70 treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had it about six months when a
friend told me about Cuticura. / sent
and got bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent,
a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box OF
Cudcura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles Of Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes Of
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out OF any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuu-
cura.
81 have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since

never known them to fail to cure what

mon, R. F, D. 2, Atoka, Tenn, Sept.
10, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and
Ointment are sold everywhere, a sam

the efforts of professional rat catch

Sincerity is made up of two words
sine and cere-sine, without, and
cere, wax; without wax And it means
absolutely pure, transparent
The human mind is constructed for
truth telling. This is its normal con-
dition, and under the exercise Of true
living and true thinking the character

Wilderness, completeness, comes into

the mind into expressing deceit it be-
comes abnormal and works all sorts
of harm to the character.
