This is to certify that have used
the Boston Granulated Soap i'm
my Family for the past year, and
like it very well. There is one
thing about it, it is the best soap 1
have ever used, and those to whom
have given it will say the same.
There is NO trouble to use it; put il
iu the tub with the water and
clothes, and you can see the dirt
start out without any labor. Ii
does not rot the clothes that L have
seen i'm the year we have used ii,
and 1 will say this much. L have
got a good Washing Machine, but
since using this soap can do the
washing easier without the ma
chine, than we could using the
other washing soaps with the ma
chine.
One thing more, L will say L don't
get five or ten dollars for this no
tice, but do it of my own free will,

that while it takes immediate hold upon the
system, in stimulating the Liver, regulating

Stomach, Lungs, Sc, it has no facilitating eff
feet under any circumstances; and while its
continued use is marked by the general toning

continuance of some otherwise valuable tonics

A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-The perceptive fac
ulty of women is usually keener than the same
chronological organ in men. Women know
that beauty rather than genius is worshipped
by the sterner SEX A man may talk of the lat
ter to his lady-loye, but the keenness of the
woman knows that he is thinking of the form
er. Women are fond of admiration; hence one
of their longings is to be beautiful. The grand
secret of female beauty is health, the power to
eat digest and assimilate proper quantity of
wholesome food. Take VINEGAR BITTERs. 1t
will cleanse the stomach, tone the vital organs,
give a perfect digestion, purify the blood,
clear up the complexion and produce state of
mental and physical electricity, which gives
symmetry of form, bright eyes, white skin,
glossy hair and genuine type of female lowell
ness, which no cosmetic can produce.
