For Germs

Soaps to destroy" germs should be
used only by advice of a physician.
All soaps remove" germs to certain
degree. Palmolive will remove" germs
as well as any soap safe for toilet use.
The real difference In soaps is in
their action on your skin. Some are
too harsh, Others crudely blended.
Palmolive Soap Is unique creation,
blend of rare cosmetic oils; a soap
made for one purpose only, to fos-
ter good compilations. Don't expect
Palmolive complexion results from any
strong "medicated" soap, from any
jack-of-all-trades" soap, from any soap
claiming alike for fabric washing and
