ECZEMA GONE, BoILs CURED

"Ny son was about three weeks old
whom noticed . brsakinoout ON his
cheeks, from which . watsry sub
stance ooxed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also. and in few days became solid
soab. I became alarmed. and called
our family physician. who at once pro
nounosd the disease eczema. The IL
tie fellow was under his treatment
for about three months. BY the end
Of that time, hs seemed no better. I
became discouraged, and a. I had
read the advertisements Of Cutioura
Remedies and Testimonials Of great
many people who had used them with
wonderful success. dropped the doc
tors treatment, and commenced the
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
and in a few days noticed q marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
tor. When he was about seven
months old all trace Of tho eczema
was gone.
During bis teething period. his
head and face were broken out In
boils which cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been great sufferer. During the
time of teething and from the time
dropped the doctors treatment. used
tho Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint
ment, nothing else. and when two
years old he was the picture Of health.
His complexion was soft and beautt
full. and his head mass Of silky curls.
I had been afraid that he would never
be we'll. and I feel that owe . great
deal to the Cutioura Remedies"
