A Perfect Toilet Scan,

FIRST among the requisites OF the toiIet1s 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 deleterions
materials, and their delicate coorlng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive i'm
purltles. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject positively startling and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
ly II 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 10 ten years being the longest
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.
u. t. Rabbit of New York, the world-renowned
soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
10 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.. Babbitt has succeeded in perfecting the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
ouced. 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 its
emOllient properties. This Soap is not perfumed,
the ingredients being of such absolute purity to
require 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.
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders it the most healthfn1
and agreeable article of the kind ever manufae-
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children, this Soap equally appropriate for
gentlemen's toilet, and 1t makes heavy lather
It Is also one of the finest soaps for BARRIERS
IL is just being placed upon the market, but the
demand for it viii soon become general.-N. Y,

the proposed reduction will cut the
House down to about ninety mem

comments on the proposed change:
