T he purity and whiteness of skin which the

passingly beautiful. Not a vestige of tan, freckles, sallowness, 
sunburn, pimples, frowsiness, roughness, chaps, chafes, or 
other cutaneous disfigurements can be seen upon the skin 
which is frequently washed with this marvellous compound. 
The purest alabaster could scarcely rival in whiteness, smooth¬ 
ness and transparency the complexion which has been beau¬ 
tified by this delicious soap. It is, moreover, delicious for 
shaving. Gouraud’s Hair Restorative, or Circassian Gloss,

hair a rich silkiness and superb gloss, but it also restores the 
hair to places whence it has fallen off. Trial Bottles, 2 d cents
