BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

When my baby was six months old.
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off. and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when l removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried a great many remedies.
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, ] used the Cuti-
cufa Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
We had tried several other things, and
doctors. too think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that Is claimed for
them, and great deal more"

not wait to be married. Meanwhile
Gordon Galorey thanked God for the
delay and hoped for a miracle to
break the spell over his friends son
before 1t should be too late. In early
May the question came up regarding
the musicale. The duchess made her
list and arranged the Sunday after
noon and her performers to suit her
taste, and the week before lounged in
her boudoir when Dan and Galorey
appeared for a late morning call.
