Pears
Soap

Why is Pears Soap-the
best in the world, the soap
with no free alkali in it
sold for IS cents a cake?
1t was made for a hospital
soap in the first place, made
by request; the doctors
wanted a soap that would
wash as sharp as any and
do no harm to the skin.
That means a soap all
soap, with no free alkali in
it, nothing but soap; there
is nothing mysterious in it.

quantity comes of quality.

cially those that know what's
