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 colorlng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive i'm
purities. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable especial
y IL 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 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 obylated 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 Tar the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The renown of Mr.. Rabbits various pro-
ductions has for many years been widely dissen-
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
duced. The principal ingredients are the pures
vegetable ellis; the manufacturing processes arr
entirely new and original, and the result Is simply
unparalleled in this department OF industry.
| x"B. T. Rabbits Toilet Soap" is the trade mari
by which this elegant toilet luxury is designated
and for applications to the delicate skin OF infants
children and ladies, it is altogether nnequaed In 1T
emollient properties. This Soap is not perfumed
the ingredients being OF such absolute purity Il
require no aid from chemistry to disguise in1er1o
materials. The most refined taste considers tn
absence of artificial perfume the perfection Q
sweetness and this peculiar characteristic of Is.
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders it the most healthfu
land agreeable article of the kind ever manufat
/ tured
Though specially desirable for the nse OF ladie
and children this Soap IS equally appropriate 70

Still more striking is the comparison of

and he estimates the silver of Utah for
1875 to be So, 955, 922. Raymond estimates
the silver product of New Mexico for 1878
to be $225,000. Calling the silver product
of Arizona for 1875, $4,000 which is
one-half Of its total product of silver and

we have the total silver products of New

The above comparisons show that the
