A Perfect Toilet SOAP.

FIRST among the requisites OF the toilet Is o good
article OF Soap, but to procure is 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
purlties. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject positively startling and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps nre
now known to be extremely objectionable eeDpciuI-
y II applied to the head injuring the hair, irrta
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
hved; from seven TO ten years being the lOngt TT
lowed
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last 0bvated however
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr.
b. Il. Babbitt, of New York, the world renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
ls 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 dissem-
mated, but this latest success is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved.
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
nent, Mr.. Babb1tt has succeeded in perfectinG the
composition OF the frest toilet soap ever intro
ouced The principal ingred are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original, and the result is simply
unpara ileled in this department OF industry.
- B. T. BabbitJs Toilet Soap is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury il designated,
and Tor applications to the delicate skin of infants
children and ladies' it is altogether unequaled IN lite
emollent properties. This Soap is not perfumed,
the ingredients being OF such absolute purity 10
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. r
Rabbits 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 II makes heavy lather
It is also of the finest soaps for BARRIERS
