LETTERS TO MlDoLeeuRY PEOPLE.

DIR. NJ. ID. SMITH, Middleburry, Vt.
Dear SU:-As a professional man, you
are of course familiar with the action of
chemicals. You know that powerful
drugs are bad. You do not resort to
them except in extreme cases. When a
patient is suffering pain you try to sub
due it with mild remedies. You know
that the more powerful the agent, the
worse the after effects will be.
We are trying to preach this doctrine
to housekeerers. They are buying
strong soaps that rot clothes. Because
they are cheap in price they believe they
are saving money. You are familiar, of
course, with the ingrt dents used in soap
making. You know that I've is the agent
which removes dirt, and you know the
more I've there is used the quicker the
dirt comes out of clothes. But you also
appreciate the after effect of I've. 1t is a
caustic, and too much of it destroys
clothes. Women, however, seem to oyer
look this fact.
We make Harmless soap mild-put
just enough lye in it to take out the dirt
We use plenty of tallow to give it a last
ing body, little boraX and ammonia
This makes our soaps cost cents q
pound. Strong lye soaps cost little
less. but they wash away faster and rot
clothes besides, and women buy then
through mistaken ideas OF economy.
Very truly yours,
c. II, Posi- q Co..
