The reason that CASTLE soap Is 90
extensively advised bv physicians, is be-
cause Of its purity and freedom from al
kali. In the manufacture OF CASTLE
soap, vegetable oil is used instead Of
animal fat, and great care is taken to
avoid an excess Of the soda; only
enough being used to take up or neu-
tralize the oil. This soap, therefore. il
mild and gentle, and can be used on ir-
ritated surfaces or wounds, where COM
mon soap would give pain, perhaps oc-
casion injury. The notified sorts Of
CASTLE soap are made by the addition
Of small quantity Of suphate Of iron
copperas. This copperss in solution Il
stirred into the soap while in fluid
state. At first the color Il blush, on
exposure to the air IL changes to . red.
This soap was called "Castile y for the !
reason that II was largely made in the
province In Spain 90 called. The larg-
est amount, however. comes from the |
south Of France, and in Europe this va
riety Of soap IL more generally known
BY the name of Marseilles than CASTLE. |
