BABY'S 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 it would
break out again and it 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 1t kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. i bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time He
told me about Cuticura. ! sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura ResOlvent. a
cake Of Cuticura Soap and a box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
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 Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. think Cuticura. is a great
remedy and would advise any one 10
use 1t. Cuticura Soap is the best that
I have ever used for toilet purposes"
