Four davs later he 'oremnn of the

Canto. He traveled ?everal miles
down the beach in aearch, bat without

either ax or provisions. He says he
may have left by boat with the hunters

Swansoa's Harbor, and that, though &,
much less distance than he has some

Suffered with Cuban Itch, and Sores
Covered Body from Head to Foot
? Would Claw Himself and Cry
All the Time ? Could Not Be
Dressed ? Mother Advised to
Try the Cuticura Remedies.
CURED BY CUTICURA
AT EXPENSE OF 75c,
"Mr little boy In the Spring of 1901. when
only an Infant 'of throe months, caught t lis
Cuban Itch from one of my neighbor's babies.
Sores broke out from
his head to the bot
tom of his feet. Ilo
would Itch and claw
him elf and cry all
the time. He could
not sleepday or night,
i had to wheel him In
his carriage most nil
the while to keep him
Mill, He could not
bear tohave his cloth
ing touch him, and
only a light dress Is
all lie could wear. I
can't beg.n to speak
in words tliesufTcring
the pooreliild had to
endure. 1 called ono
of our best doctors to
treat him, and he said
he had the Cuban
Itch, and his treat
ment did not do any
Rood. He seemed to
get worse. Ilo suf
fered so terribly that
my husband said ho
believed ho would
have to die. I had
almost given up hope
when a lady friend told me to try the Cuticura
Remedies. She said she cured her little girl's
car, which was nearly eaten up with tho
eczema, I got a cake of Cuticura Soap arid
one box Cuticura Ointment, and I washed
him all over with tho Cuticura Soap and
applied the Cuticura Ointment and heatonco
fell into a sleep, and he slept with ease for
the first time since two months. When ho
awoke I applied it again, and it gave him
much eilse, and after throe applications tho
sores began to dry up and improvement began
to show, and in a few days the hide from the
bottom of his feet and inside of his hands
began to peel off, I only used one cako Cuti
cura Soap and one box Cuticura Ointment to
complete the cure of thedreadful disease, and
in just two weeks from the day I commenced
to use the Cuticura Remedies my baby was
entirely well. Tho treatment only cost me
76c., and I would have gladly paid $100 if I
could not have got it any cheaper. I feel safe
in saying that the Cuticura Remedies saved
his life. He is now a boy of five years, and
is as well as any child you ever saw. Mrs.
