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 deleterious
materials, and their delicate colorIng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive i'm
pur1ties. The disclosures recently made publlc
regarding this subject are positively startling and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable especial
ly If applied to the head injurng 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 busness 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 ooviated 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 far the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The renown of Mr.. Babbitt's various pro-
ductions 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 perfectInS the
composition Of the frest toiet soap ever intro
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original, and the result ls simply
unpRra leled in this department OF industry.
A''B. T. Babbitts Toilet Soap is the trade marx
by which this elegant toilet luxury Is designated,
and for applications to the delicate skin OF infants
children and ladies' it Is altogether unequaleo IN
emollient properties. This Soap is not perfumed,
the Ingredients being of such absolute purity as to
require no aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials. The most refined taste considers the
| absence of artificial perfume the per1ectlon OF
sweetness and this peculiar characteristic OF b. T.
Babbitts Toilet Soap renders it the most healtnfui
and agreeable article of the kind ever manuiac-
| tured.
