1181 Penn St., Camden, N. J.—"About
three months after my little boy's birth his
face broke out with a rash. They told us
tit was eczema. The
rash was like water
blisters, in large bunches
as big as a half dollar,
but the blisters were the
size of a pin head. It
caused disfigurement for
months. The left side of
his face was one solid
black scab one eighth
of an Inch thick. His face was horrible.
He lost his rest and was very cross and fret
ful. We kept his hands tied to his sides in
little cotton stockings to keep him from
scratching it, as he would scratch it until
the blood would run all over his night
clothes.
"We tried many treatments, for
one. to no advantage. We were beside
ourselves when one evening my husband
saw an advertisement of Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. He bought some and 1 used them
as directed. The first night he slept fine.
We used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and two
boxes of Cuticura Ointment and In one
month he was cured." (Signed) Mrs. A. M.
Davis, Oct. 9. 1913.

Greatest Event
in Woman's Life
Ail human experience looks back to
motherhood as the wonder of wonders.
The patience, the fortitude, the sublime
faith during the period of expectancy are
second only to the mother love bestowed
upon the most helpless but most marvel
ous creation—a baby.
Women are quick to learn from each
other those helpful agencies that aid to
comfort, that conserve their nervous
energy and yet are perfectly safe to use
and among these they recommend
'Mother's Friend."
It is entirely an external application
designed to lubricate the broad, flat
muscles and skin that protect the
abdomen. It has been In favorable use
for nearly half a century and is known
to mothers In almost every settled com
munity In the United States who highly
recommend it. You will find It on salo
in drug stores. "Mother's Friend" Is
utterly harmless, contains no deadening
drugs and yet its influence in the skin
and muscles beneath as also upon the
network of nerves beneath the skin Is
very beneficial, very soothing and a
vonderful help. The muscles expand
naturally and are not subjected to unnec
essary surface strain and pain.
Get a bottle of "Mother's Friend" to
day at any drug store and write to us
for our instructive little book to mothers.
