ECZEMA ON BABY'S
Face IN PIMPLES
CUTICURA HEALS
In Blotches, Child Terribly Cross
and Fretful. Hair Came Out in
HandfuIs, He Was Disfgured.

Our baby had an eruption on his face
which came in pimples. Later his face
began to get scaly and after having him
treated we found that it was eczema.
The pimples came up hard and then
they festered and came to a head. They
were in blotches and caused him to irrf-
tate his face. He was terribly cross and
frctful. His hair came out in handfuls
and he was dishgured for the time being.
I'VE began using Cuticura Soap and
Ointment After week use he began
to show signs of getting better, and two
cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes
OF Cuucura Ointment healed him com
