A Toilet Soap should cleanse the skin--it should do this and nothing else. A safe soap is the one made from vegetable oils, with alkali and oils perfectly combined.

Excess of oil means imperfect cleansing; excess of alkali means a roughened skin. While cheapness in soap often means badness of quality, you need not pay high prices in order to get good soaps. We are careful in buying, and as a result of our carefulness we are able to furnish worthy soaps at little prices. LEE WILSON, The Leading Druggist. Mrs.
