BABY QUIRK'S
QUICK CURE
Of Torturing Eczema
by Cuticura
When AiTEIse Had
Utterly Failed.
' My baby, Owen Herbert Quirk, was
afflicted from the age of six week with
a loathsome running eczema, almost
covering his face. I took him to Drs.
and of Victoria Boad,
Aldershet, and be was treated by them
for three months, bub got much worse,
and. was a sickening sight to look at.
I saw an advertisement of the Cuticura
Remedies, and got the Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent.
"We noticed an
Improvement at
once, and within a
fortnight the run
nlng had ceased
and the scale were
nearly all dried off,
and in a month his
face was perfectly
clear, not a spot
left. I have en
closed photograph
of him when be
waa thirteen months old. He 1 now
two years and four months, and has
never bad the slightest return of it. I
am very grateful for the benefits de
rived from your remedies, and shall
feel It a pleasure to make their value
known. For corroboration of this
statement you may refer any one to
Mrs. Williams, 45 Michaels Road, Alder
shot, or Mr. Gunatane, 40 Victoria
Road, Aldershot, to whom we recom
mended the remedies for a akin humour,
which they also cured. Tou are at
liberty to do what you like with this
statement, as I should like all to know
of the value of Cuticura."

As a usual thing editors ssve the good

from 8 H Duncan, editor of the rieaton,

He writes as follows:
To the Editor of the New Bern Jour
nal:

and thna help me to do a kindness to
your readers. My wife ha been a great
