SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN

"When my boy was about three months old his head broke out with a rash which was very itchy and ran a watery fluid. We tried everything we could but he got worse all the time, till it spread to his arms, legs and then to his entire body. He got so bad that he came near dying. The rash would itch so that he would scratch till the blood ran, and a thin yellowish stuff would be all over his 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 hands were thin like claws. "He was bad about eight months when we tried Cutlcura Remedies. I had not laid him down in his cradle in the daytime for a long while. I washed him with Cutlcura Soap and put on one application of Cutlcura Ointment and he was so soothed that he could sleep. You don’t know how glad 1 was he felt better. It took one box of Cutlcura Ointment and pretty near one cake of Cutlcura Soap to oure him. I think our boy would have died but for the Cutlcura Remedies and I shall always remain a firm friend of them. There has been no return of the trouble. I shall be glad to have you publish this true statement of his cure.” (Signed) Mrs. M. C. Maitland, Jasper, Ontario, May 27, 1910.
