It Was Awful. Cried Continually.
Had to Hold and Watch Him
to Keep Him from Scratching.
Suffering Was Dreadful.
Had not Used Half a Set Of Cuticura
Remedies Before Head was Clear
and Free from Eczema,

"I think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard Of. Ny mother had a child
who had a rash on its head when it was
real young. Doctor called it baby rash.
He gave US medicine, but it did no
good. In Q few days the head was q
solid mass, running sore. 1t was
awful, the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him ito
keep him] from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last we
remembered Cuticura Remedies. We
got a dollar bottle Of Cuticura Resol-
vent, a box Of Cuticura Ointment, and
q bar Of Cuticura Soap. We gave the
Resolvent as directed, washed the head
with the Cuticura Soap, and applied
the Cuticura Ointment. We-had not
used haK before the child's head was
clear and free from eczema, and it has
never come back again. His head was
healthy and he had q beautiful head Of
hair. L think the Cuticura Ointment
very good for the hair. 1t makes the
hair grow and prevents falling hair"

My dear correspondent: 1t would take
a special edition of The Times to tell
you all you should know regarding
scientific cooking. The only advice I
can give is for you to go to the Public

subject, which will be cheerfully given
you, in which you will find much in
formation, together with recipes for
cooking different kinds of food. There
are any number of domestic science
