iHWHY SHOULD I USE
CUTlcURA S0AP?"

"There is nothing the matter with
my skin, and thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, it
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation it's delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered it the standard for this
purpose, while it's extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to it all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also Invaluable in keeping the
hands soft aud white, the hair live
and glossy. and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While it's first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that it wears
to wafer. often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making its
use. in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,"
Dept L, Boston, for a liberal sam
pie cake. together with a thirty-two
page book on the skin and hair.
