A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites of the toilet is good
article of Soap, but to procure it is not always
easy matter. Many of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleterious
materials and their delicate coorlng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive i'm
PARTIES. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject are positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable especial
ly il applied to the head; injuring the hair, rrta
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 chat
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 q perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last obyiated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill OF Mr.
B. t. Babbitt, of New York, the World-renoWneo
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by lar the greatest of the kind in the United
States The renown Of Mr.. Babbitfs 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. Rabbit has succeeded in perfectinE the
composition of the 1rest toilet soap ever intro
duced. The principal ingredients are the puresl
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department of industry,
- .1B. T. Babbitt's Toilet Soap Is the trade mari
by which this elegant toilet luxury is designated
and for applications te the delicate SKIN OF lhI9h
children and ladies' it ia altogether unequaled in 1T
emoilient properties. This Soap is not perfumed
the Ingredients being Of such absolute purity as
require no aid from chemistry to disguise in1erio
materials. The most refined taste considers th'
| absence of artificial perfume the perfection o
sweetness, and this peculiar characteristic OF g.
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders 1t the most healtnIu
/ and agreeable article of the kind ever mahulac
tured. IA.
Though specially desirable for the use OF ladie
and children, this Soap is equally appropriate 10
/ oentIemen's toilet and as 1t makes heavy lathe
It is also one of the finest soaps for BARRIERS use
II is lust being placed upon the market, but tn

very bad, but said that before calling 10 a
doctor she intended to try cure that she
had long used in similar cases, and never
found to fail. On being pressed to COM
