Comfort for Sore
Hands and Feet.

Cuticura soap. assisted by Cuticura
ointment, is superior to all other skin
soaps for preserving the hands, pre-
venting redness, roughness and chap
ping, and imparting in a single night
that velvety softness and whiteness so
much desired by women. For those
whose occupations tend to injure the
hands or who suffer from dry. assured
itching, feverish palms, and shapeless

cura soap and Cuticura ointment are
wonderful. They are equally success
full for tired. aching, irritated, itching
