stopping of falling hair for softening, whitening, and
healing red rough and hands, in the form of baths
for annoying irrtations infammatons and chafngs
too free offensive perspraton in the form of Washes
for lucrative weaknesses and for many snatve antsepc
purposes which readily suggest themselves to women and
especially mothers and for all the purposes of the toilet
BATH and nursery No amount of persuasion induce
those who have used it to any other especially

infants and children. CUTCURA SOAP combines delicate
emolient properties derived from CUTCURA, the great
