He was losing flesh so rapidly that we became alarmed and decided to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. "Not until I commenced using Cuticura Soap and Ointment could we tell what he looked like, as we dared not wash fcim, and I had been putting one application after another on him. On removing the scale from his head the hair came off, and left him entirely bald, but since we have been using Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has as much hair as ever. Four weeks after we begin to use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment be was entirely cured. I don't believe anyone could have eczema worse than our baby.

"Before we used the Cuticura Remedies we could hardly look at him, be was such a pitiful sight. He would fuss I would treat him, they seemed to relieve him so much.
