MRS. RMS BABY
Tired Mother's Touching Story of
Anxiety and Suffering.
Cuticura Brings Blessed Cure to Skin
Tortured Baby and Peace and Rest
to Its "Worn Out Mother.
It is no wonder that Mrs. Helena Rath was taken sick.
Single-handed, she did all the housework and washed, cooked and
mended for her husband, Hans, and their six children. After a
plucky fight to keep on her feet, Mrs. Rath had to yield, and early
in 1902 she took to her bed. What followed she told to a visitor,
who called at her tidy home, No. 82 1 Tenth Ave., New York City.
I hired a pirl to minil tho chil
dren nnd to do whatever elso she
could. I couldn't stay in bed long1.
Sick na I was, it was easier for mo
to crawl around than to Ho and
worry about my littlo ones. So
I got up after a few days, and let
tho girl go. I had noticed that she
had sores on her face, hands and
arms, but I paid no attention to that
until Charlie, my youngest, began to
pick and Bcratch himself. Ho was
then ten months old, and the girl
had paid moro attention to him than
to any of tho others. Charlie was fret
ful nnd cross, but as ho wns cutting
teeth, I didn't think much of that.
Even when a rash broko out on his
face I wasn't frightened, because
everybody knows that that is quito
common with teething babies. Sev
eral of my others had it when little,
and I thought nothing about it.
"But tho rash on Charlie's poor
little faco spread to his neck, chest,
nnd back. I had never seen any
thing quito like it before. The skin
roso in littlo lumps, .and matter
came out. My baby's ski"n was hot,
and how lie did suffer I lie wouldn't
cat, and night after night I walked
tho floor with him, weak as I was.
Often I had to stop because I felt
faint and my back throbbed -with
pain. Hut tho worst pain of all was
to seo my poor littlo boy burning
with those nasty sores.
"I believed ho had caught some
disease from tho girl, but some of
the neighbors said ho had eczema,
and that is not catching, they told
me. Yes, I gave hira medicine, and
put salves and things on him. I
don't think they wero all useless.
Once in a while tho itching seemed
to let up a bit, but there was not
much change for tho better until a
lady across the street asked me why
I didn't try the Cuticura Remedies.
I told her I had no faith in those
things you read about in tho papers.
She said sho didn't want me to go
on faith nor even to spend any
money at first. Sho gave mo some
Cuticura Ointment I think tho
box was about half full and n
piece of Cuticura Soap. I followed
The agonizing, itching, and burning of the skin as in eczema;
the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis ; the loss of hair, and crusting
of the scalp, as in scalled head ; the facial disfigurements, as in
pimples and ringworm ; the awful suffering of infants, and anxiety
of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tetter and salt rheum, all
demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully
cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent
are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made
regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evidence.
The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety
and great economy have made them the standard skin cures, blood
purifiers and humour remedies of the civilized world.

I wouldn't havo believed that

but so surely. Charlio and I both
