Soap

What is wanted Of
soap for the skin is to
wash it clean and not
hurt it. Pure soap does
that. This is why we
want pure soap; and,
when we say pure, we
mean without alkali.
Pears is pure; no al
kali in it; no free alkali.
There are a thousand
virtues of soap; this one
is enough, You can trust
a soap that has no biting
alkali in it.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists ;
all sorts of people use it.
