Then they be- gan to conic,on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one canic on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. --Still.he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of the Soap and a box of the Oint- ment, and at,the end of about two months tile sores were alt well. He has never had any sores of any kind since.- He is now strong arid healthy, and I can sincerely say that only for your most wonderful remedies my precious child would have died from those terrible sores.
