' Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured in Fifteen Days. Ardon, Iowa. "My son had a scalp disease; he had a burning Itching for fifteen or sixteen years. On account'of the Intense Itching he would scratch his head until his scalp was cut all over. Several scabs had formed by scratching. He would wako up at' night and' scratch; sometimes he could not sleep with the Itch and burning. There were pimples about as large as a pin-head all over his scalp, a red rash as red as blood. His hair came out gradually. It seemed as if the hair was dry, no life In It. "He used , a wash of blue stone and toilet soap, still be never got any relief until be used Cuticura Soap and Ointment. He would wash his bead until It would be white with the lather from the Cuticura Eoap, then he would wash his scalp clean with warm water, then rub the ointment all over bis scalp. He was cured In fifteen days' time." (Signed) Mrs. Jane Edwards, Oct. 'IS. 1913. In selecting a toilet soap why not procure one possessing delicate emollient properties sufficient to allay minor Irritations, remove redness and roughness, prevent pore-clogging, soften and soothe sensitive conditions, and promote skin and scalp health generally?
