Head Broke Out. Spread to Arms,
Legs and Entire Body. Itched So
He Would Scratch Until Blood Ran.
One Box of Cuticura Ointment and
Nearly One Cake of Cuticura Soap
Cured Him. Has Had No Return.
"When my boy was about three month?
old, his head broke out with a rush which
was very itchy and ran a watery fluid. We
tried everything we could but h<- got worse
all the. time, till It spread to his arms, legs
and then to his entire body. He got so bad
that ho cam? near dying. The rash would
itch so that he would scratch till the blood
ran, and ft thin yellowish stuff would be all
ov*r hi> pillow in the morning. I had to put
mittens on his hands to prevent him tearing
his skin. He was so weak and run down that
he took fainting spells as if he were dying.
He was almost a skeleton and his little band.?
were thin like claw.-:.
"He was bad about eight months when we
tri"fl Cuticura Remedies. 1 had not laid him
down in his cradle in the daytime lor a long
while. 1 washed him with Cuticura Soap and
put on one application of Cuticura Ointment
and he was 50 soothed that he could sleep.
You don't know how glad I was he felt better.
It took one box of Cuticura Ointment and
pretty near one cake of Cuticura Soap to cure
him. I think our boy would have riled but
for the Cuticura Remedies and l shall always
remain a firm irlend of them. He was cured
more, than twenty years ago. and there has
been no return of the trouble. I shall he
glad to have you publish this true statement
of his cure." (Signed) .Mrs. M. C. Maitland,
