A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites of the toilet Is a good
article of Soap, but to procure 1t Is not always an
easy matter. Many of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deeter0us
materials and their delicate colOrng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive I'M
purities. The disclosures recently made pubic
regarding this subject are positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
y il applied to the head injuring the hair, irrita
ting the scalp and inducing severe headaches. The
character of the Ingredients may be inferred from
the statement of gentlemen who makes the scent
ing of Soaps his business he recently declared that
persons engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven TO ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol-
lowed.
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap Is at last obviated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr..
b. T. Babbitt, of New York the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by lar the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The renown of Mr.. Rabbits various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated but this latest success is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved.
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment. Mr.. Bahbitt has succeeded in perfecting the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
duced. The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils the manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department of industry.
! B T. Rabbits Toilet Soap" is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury is designated
and for applications to the delicate skin of infants
children and ladies' it is altogether unequaled IN lit
emollfent properties Ihls soap is not peFIumeu
the ingredients being of such absolute purity as tC
require no aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials The most refined taste considers the
| absence of artificial perfume the perfection Of
sweetness, and this peculiar characteristic of B. 7
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders it the most healthfu
and agreeable article of the kind ever manufae
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children, this Soap Is equally appropriate fol

blockade runners, they have all gsse to plant
ing corn, which will add thousands Of bushels
to the next crop. They say that they intend TO
make at least one crop before they try Prssi-
