all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change Of food
and climate. and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and It used to
itch and burn at night 80 bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with 1t at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars. or

is completely cured by the Cuticura
