so cleanly that 1t does not soil the
linen.
Its power to instantly relieve any ir-
rtation of the skin and make il soft,
white and beautiful is almost miracu-
lous.
Not only are minor skin troubles. like
pimples, blaclSheads acne. BARRIERS
itch, etc. quickly cured. but the worst
ulcers or cases OF salt rheum or eczema
