Care Of Baby's
Skin from Birth

Mothers throughout the world have
come to realize that no other soap is
so well suited for cleansing and pre-
serving baby's delicate SKIN and hair
as Cuticura soap. 1t is so pure that
1t may be used with confidence from
the hour of birth. Warm baths with
Cutcura soap and gentle anointings
with Cuticura ointment afford a safe,
speedy and economical method of free
eruptions, itchings, irritatons, crust
ings and chafings, and of establishing
a permanent condition of skin and hair
health

WHY BABY CAN'T SLEEP.

Could YOU sleep if your skin was
chafed, and irritated by perspiration.
or if tormented by the itching of &C.
zema, or nettle rash, or pimples on
your back? Well, maybe that is why
baby can't sleep. Take him up, dust
him all over with Comfort Powder
which stops itching and irritation
right away and he will probably fall
asleep smiling in a few minutes. The
Sisters of Mercy, Sacred Heart Hos
pital, Manchester. \. H.. say Comfort
Powder gives great relief in eczema
stops itching and allows sleep. See
