HEAD SOLID SORE
Awful Suffering of Baby and
Sleepless Nights of
- Mother.
CURED BY CUTICURA
Skii Fair as a Lily with no Scar
to Recall Awful Sore
Writes Mother.
" I herewith write oat in fall the be
ginning and end of that terrible disease,
eciema, which caused my babe untold
nflerlng and myself many sleepless
flight.
"My babe wai bom seemingly a fair,
healthy child, bnt when she was three
weeks old swelling appeared on the
back of her head, and In coarse of time
broke. It did not heal bat frrcw worse,
and the sore spread from the size of a
dime to that of a dollar. I nsed all
ihnde of remedies that I could think of,
bnt nothing seemed to help; In fact, It
grew worse. Her hair fell out where
the sore was, and I feared It would never
grow again. It continued until my aged
father came on a visit, and when he
saw the baby he told me to get Cutl
enra Soap and Ointment right away.
' To please him I did so, and to my
nrlse by their nse the sore began to
over, the hair grew orer It, and
to-day she has a nlco head of hair, her
skin Is as fair as a Illy, and she has no
scar left to recall that awful soro, and
It Is orer eight months and no sign of
Its returning."
Mrs. Wk. Rtxx, Elk Elver, Minn.
"Core permanent." So writes Mrs.
Byer, Feb. S5, 1903, six years later:
"Tonr letter of the 19th inat. received,
aikleg in regard to the care of my baby
seme six years ago. Well, tLt disease
has never returned to her bead which at
that time was a solid sore on top and
down the back. Once or twice since
them a patch has come on bar band near
the wrist, but It finally disappeared
after proper treatment witn uuticura."
