a silver dollar. 1t spread to her eye
Then water would run from the pim
pies and wherever that touched 1t caus
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils We're one
solid sore. She was very fretfuL She
certainly was a terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be of any use
Then got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub
off everything We put on so that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at a time, trying to give the
medicine a chance to help her, but
after | washed it with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura Oint
ment they seemed to soothe her and
she did not try to rub them on II

was all healed up, and there has been
