CRUST COVERED BABY's HEAD

532 Brunswick St., Baltimore, Md
"My baby's face broke out in pimples,
which after bathing would weep and
form scabs until his head and face
were completely covered with a crust
and his hair all fell out. 1t was cross
and would not sleep. Each day it
spread until his entire face and head
were covered with weeping sores. l
tried several prescriptions, but did not
find any relief. Then decided to try
Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
"After using them two or three
times the sores dried UP and after a
half dozen applications all disfgure-
ment disappeared. In less than three
weeks the sores and scales were COM
pletely gone, and baby's skin as
smooth and clear as when he was first
born. Cuticura Soap and Ointment
cured him." (Signed) Mrs. Lottie v.
