~ RAILWAYS CHINESE MEDICA-
TED SOAP is superior to all imported French,
English, or Berlin soaps. There are soaps
which are beneficial TO the skin, (Radway's ~
and soaps which are injurious to the complex
ion. Those soaps containing muriatic acid,
bsmotb, corrosive sublimate, preparations of
mercury and antmony, scented with strong
essential oils, as most of the toilet soaps are,-
are very injurious to the skin, their general
tendency is to irritate the cuticle, close up the
pores, thus causing the bursting forth of hu-
mors on the surface, in the form Of pimples,
blotches, pustules, ring worm, cresipelas aud
other cxcresccnces. To avoid purchasing
those dangerous compositions, ask for RAD

entirely free from all deleterious and irritating
ingredients IL opens the pores, cleanses the
