BABYS HAIR ALL CAME OUT

When my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and it spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. | bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He,
had it about six months when a friend
told me about Cuticura. l sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. a.
cake Of CUticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head After taking
two bottles of Resolvent. two boxes of
ointment and three cakes of SOAP he
was sound and well, and never had.
any breaking out of any kind. His,
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use,
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that

Mrs. Klopton succumbed. Because
there are queer goings-on in that house

the beef tea, Mr.. Lawrence, I will tell
you"
The queer goings-on, however,
proved to be slightly disappointing 1t

night, light was seen fitting ftfully

Euphemia had seen it first and called
Mrs. Klopton. Together they had

objected, ghosts are like lightning;
they never strike twice in the same
night That is only worth half a cup
of beef tea

an hour after, there was a light there

I'm amazed at you. You old duffer!

went out muttering.
