WHITE PlMPLES ON HEAD

on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old. Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
Of blood and matter His whole head
was covered for few months, then It
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body. It seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts Of his body it was
more like water coming out OF the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had a
full nights sleep, restless all night.
THE sores were horrid to look at.
1t lasted until he was about two and
half years old. Then we saw an &C.

we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
