RASH ALL OVER BABYS BODY
ltChed So He Could Not Sleep

ION July q, 1909, we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
a few days a nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to a doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. It
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
It 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 so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with it 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
