"I believe it is a duty to the pub

“I would not think an officer Justi

suspicions were aroused it would be
his duty either to warn them or place
them under arrest.”

On Children’s Scalps. Hair Fell Out
in Round Spots. Scratched Till
Blood Came, Cuticura Soap and
OintmentCured.
1545 Aisqulth St., Baltimore. Md. —
*‘My children were afflicted with what they
called ring worm of the scalp contracted
from a house-cat they were playing with.
The ringworm formed on their scalps about
the size of a stlrer dollar and their hair fell
out, leaving a round scale or crust on their
scalps. Their hair fell out in round spots.
There was terrible Itching and they scratched
till the blood came. They were very fretful
and could not sleep at night and they were
very cross.
“They were treated for several months
with no improvement, whatsoever. Instead
of improving they were getting worse and
the ringworm was spreading and getting
larger. I was told they would never have
any hair and would always be bald. Then
I began using Cuticura Soap in connection
with Cuticura Ointment and the first week
I could see the wonderful remedies were
doing all they were claimed to do and in six
weeks' time they were entirely cured. They
all have a beautiful growth of hair."
(Signed) Mrs. Sadie Pollock. Jan. 1, 1913.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment do so much
for pimples, blackheads, red. rough and oily
skins. Itching, scaly scalps, dry, thin and
falling hair, chapped hands and shapeless
nails, that it is almost criminal not to use
them. They do even more for skiu-tor-
tured infants and children. Although sold
by dealers throughout the world, a liberal
sample of each will be mailed free, with
32-p. Skin Book. Address post-card "Cuti
cura. Dept. T. Boston."

ticura Soap will find It best for skin and scalp.
