PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Four years ago l had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. would scratch those places
until they would bleed before l could
get any relief Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh I'M
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes it would begin to itch until
1t would waken me from my sleep,
and l would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced 1t "dry
eczema" used an ointment which
the doctor give me. but 1t did no good
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. AS this trouble has
been in our family for years, and is
considered hereditary, felt anxious
to try to head 1t off. ! got the Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what l needed.
"The disease was making great

the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin Of the great pest
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, have never felt
any of its pest, and I am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet, and l hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment"

ers, Mich. Mar. 16, 1911. Although

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
ly the physical peculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health is In
a great measure dependent upon nor
NAL. healthy, regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss Of
appetite, restlessness during sleep, IT.
ritability and dozen and one similar
evidences Of physical disorder are soon
apparent.
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
sign of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover it's accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald.
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $1.0O
bottles. If you have never tried this
remedy, send for sample to DR.. W.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington st., Mon
ticello, Ill. He will gladly send a
trial bottle without any expense to
you whatever.
