FATHER THOUGHT
CHILD jp DIE
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.
"My little boy In the Spring of 1901, when
?nly an Infant of three months, caught th?
Cuban Itch from on# of my neighbor's babies.
Bores broke out rrom
his head to the bot
tom of his ifeet. He
would itch and claw
himself nnd cry all
the time. He could
not sleep day or night.
I had to wheel him in
his carriage most all
the while to keep him
still. He could not
bear to have his cloth
ing touch htm, and
only a light dress it
all he could wear. I
can't begin to speak
in words the suffering
1 the poor child had to
endure. I called ono
of our best doctors to
treat him, and he said
h? hod the Cuban
Itch, and his treat
ment did not do any
good. He seemed to
get worse. He suf
fered so terribly that
my -husband said ha
believed he would
have to die. I had
almost given up hop?
wnen a may menu toia me to iry win ^uncurs
Remedies. She said she cured tier little girl's
ear, which was nearly eaten up with the
eczema, I pot a cake of Cutlcura Soap and
one box Cutlcura Ointment, and I washed
him all over with the Cutlcura Soap and
applied the Cutlcura Ointment and he at one#
fell Into a sleep, and he slept with ease for
the first time since two montlw. When he
awoke I applied It again, and it gave him
much caAe, and after three applications the
sores began to dry up and improvement began
to show, and in a few days tne hide from the
bottom of hU feet and Inside of his hands
began to peeroff. I only used one cake Cutl
cura Soap and one box Cutlcura Ointment to
complete the cure of the dreadful disea.se, and
in Just two weeks from the day I commenced
to use the Cutlcura Remedies my baby was
entirely well. The 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 Cutlcura Remedies saved
his life. He is now a boy of five years, and
is as well as any child you ever saw. Mrs.
