MOTHERS SSTORY OF
BkBY'S HEALMENT
With CUTICURA

when my baby was four months
old, rash appeared on her arms, shoul-
der, back, chest, and limbs, and also
her face. 1t was pronounced eczema,
and she was treated, but it seemed
worse. The flesh became as red as fan
mel, and burned, and at times opened
and ran together, making scales, and
she was very cross and fretful. She
would toss around and someone was
compelled to hold her all the time dur
ing the day, and had to get up three
or four times during one night with her.
Then sent for a cake of Cuticura
Soap and box of Cuticura Ointment.
They almost instantly stopped the itch
ing, and the eczema disappeared, and in
less than amonth' time she was healed"
(Signed) Mrs. Lewis Seaks, r. Ed. 8,
Stewartstown, Pa, Mar. 10, 1916.
Can you read this story without being
moved? The suffering of the child, the
self-sacrifice of the mother in care of it
and the wonderful healment of Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Truly peace falls
on many distracted households when
Cuticura enters. Too often it is cause
for regret that neglect of first symptoms,
use of strongly medicated soaps and
coarse ointments have done much to
aggravate. Mothers should think of
this. Buy Cuticura and feel safe. Sam
plies by mail for the asking. Address
post-card: "Caticura, Dept. H, Bos-
ton." Sold throughout the world.
