Soap

People have no idea how
crude and cruel soap can be.
1t takes off dirt. So far,
so good; but what else does
it do?
1t cuts the skin and frets
the under-skin makes red
ness and roughness and
leads to worse. Net soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears Soap has no. free,
alkali in it. 1t neither red
dens nor roughens the skin.
1t responds to water in
stantly; washes and rinses
off in a twinkling; is as
gentle as strong; and the
after-effect is every way
good.
All sorts of stores sell it,
especially druggists; all sorts
Of people use it.
