SCALY-LIKE RASH
ON BABY'S LEGS
And Neck. Coming Out on Arms.
Became Raw Sores. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment Gave Instant Relief
and Completely Cured.
132 Balch St.; Beverly." Mass. ""When
my baby was but six weeks old she broke out
on her legs and -neck with a dry.6caly-like
rash. 1 soon noticed it seemed to be matting
together on her neck and was coming out on
her arms. She was very fussy and needed
constant attention. She could only sleep
about half an hour at a time either day or
night. In about three days it had become
raw sore6. It turned into a running sore on .
her neck and was fast becoming so on her
arms.
" I sent for some Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment. I bathed her with the Cuticura Soap
and applied the Ointment as soon as I got
them and they seemed to afford instant re
lief. She went right to sleep and slept for
three hours, the first time for over two weeks.
After two or three applications of the Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment I noticed a decided
change. I continued the treatment and she
was completely cured. Cuticura Soap and
Ointment cured her." (Signed) Mrs. C. B.
Giles, Apr. 19, 1912.
Although the Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment are most successful in the treatment
of affections of the skin, scalp, hair and
hands, they are also most valuable for every
day use in the toilet, bath and nursery be
cause they promote and maintain the health
of the skin and hair from infancy to age.
