A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites Of the toilet is 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 deleteriUus
materials, and their delicate colorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive I'M
purities. The disclosures recently made pubic
regarding this ~ jeet are positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extreml y objectionable, especial
" If lied to the head; tnjnrng 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
pers ons 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 word-renowned
soap Manufacturer. whose immense establishment
is by lar the greatest OF the Kind in the United
States. The renoWn of Mr. Babbitt's various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dtssem-
mated, but this latest success Is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved.
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment. Mir. Babbitt las succeeded in perfecting
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
0uesd 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. 7. 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 ia altogether unequRled in is
emolent properties. This Soap il not perfumed,
the ingredients being Of such absolute purity
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. T.
Babbitts Toilet Soap renders it the most heathful
and agreeable article of the kind ever manufac-
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children, this Soap equally appropriate for
gentlemen's toilet and as 1t makes heavy lRther
1t is also OF the finest soaps for baFber's
demand for it will soon become general.-N. Y,
