" BABY'S INTOLERABLE ,/ ITCHING/ "When my I'ittlo girl was six months old I. noticed Small, red spots on her right check. Tho spots grew* so large thafc'lj&enti for the doctor, who said ifc .was ringworm. He prescribed an ointment, 1 , which , I used for two weeks, but tho ointment; seemed tc make it worse. Then I went to a second doctor, who said it was eczema. Ho also give mo an ointment, which did not help either. The disease in the meantime spread all over tho face, and the eyes began to swell. I became very anxious. The itching grew intolerable. I had to tie the baby's hands to tho cradle to prevent her scratching. The cheeks were covered with blood, and it was a terrible sight to see. I consulted doctors from September to December, but they wero unable to cure the baby. '"* " One of my friends told mo of the Cuticura Remedies, and I sent at once' for a sot. which I began to use that evening. The next morning the baby's face was all white, instead of red, and you can imagine how surprised I was. I cannot find words enough to praise Cuticura, and I do 'not know what would have become of my baby only for it. I used the Cuticura Remedies ; until tho eczema entirely disappeared. The child is now three years old and quite well. I . used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, and one bottle • of Cuticura Resolvent, and I never us© any ; other soap. I always ' recommend v them < whenever there is a chance for doinff so.~—v Mrs. P. E. Gumbiu, Sheldon, la., U.S/A., j 'July 13, 1908. ' Reference: R. Towns and . Co., Sydney, ■ • 7 fc • %
