enabled to avoid many veXations in this world.

enter into their daily life they adopt it, and ever
after cling to it. All desire that which is best yet
cheapest, and many good housewife, by settling
on Brussels soap, for household use, finds her
every need supplied in this direction Brussels
soap has as yet no successful competitor. It's
economical.
