AND Nice Hands! OTHING adds so much to personal attractions as a bright, clear N° complexion, and a soft skin. Without them the handsomest and most regular features are but coldly impressive, whilst with them the plainest become attractive; and yet there is no advantage so easily secured. The regular use of a properly prepared Soap is one of the chief means; but the Public have not the requisite knowledge of the manufacture of Soap to guide them to a proper selection, so a pretty box, a pretty colour, or an agreeable perfume too frequently outweighs the more important consideration, viz. the Composition of the Soap itself, and thus many a good complexion is spoiled which would be enhanced by proper care. "THE T A most Eminent Authority on the Skin, Professor Erasmus Wilson, F.R.$. Writes in the JOURNAL OF CUTANEOUS MEDICINE :— use of a good Soap is certainly calculated to preserve the Skin in "health, to maintain its complexion and tone, and prevent its falling 66 into wrinkles. PEARS is a name engraven on the memory of the 66 oldest inhabitant; and PEARS' Transparent SOAP is an article of the "nicest and most careful manufacture, and one of the most refreshing "" and agreeable of balms for the Skin.” O persons whose skin is delicate or sensitive to changes in the weather, winter or summer, PEARS' TRANSPARENT SOAP is invaluable, as, on account of its emollient, non-irritant character, Redness, Roughness and Chapping are prevented, and a clear appearance and soft velvety condition maintained, and a good, healthful and attractive complexion ensured.

It should be remembered that ARTIFICIALLY COLOURED SOAPS are FREQUENTLY POISONOUS, particularly the Red, Blue, and Green varieties; and nearly all Toilet Soaps contain an excess of Soda. Very white Soaps, such as "Curd," usually contain much more soda than others, owing to the use of cocoa nut oil, which makes a bad, strongly alkaline Soap very injurious to the Skin, besides leaving a disagreeable odour on it. The serious injury to children resulting from these Soaps often remains unsuspected in spite of nature's warnings, until the unhealthy and irritable condition of the Skin has developed into some unsightly disease, not infrequently baffling the skill of the most eminent Dermatologists.
