Don’t Lei Baby Suffer With Eczema And
Skin Eruptions.
Babies need a perfect skin-covering.
Skin Eruptions cause them not only
intense suffering, but hinder their
growth. Dr. Hobson’s Eczema Oint¬
ment can be relied on for relief and
permanent cure of suffering babies
whose skin eruptions have made their
life miserable. “Our baby was afflict¬
ed with breaking out of the skin all
over the face and ca!p. Doctors and
skin specialist failed to help. We tried
Dr. Hobson’s Eczema Ointment and
were overjoyed to see baby completely
cured before one box was used” writes
