But the question is, How is it possible to keep the skin in such a condi- tion?) The natural, and therefore the most effective, way of achiev- ing this is to use Pears’ Soap The soap that was invented 120 years ago for this special purpose, and has never been equalled for its exquisite emollient ifying properties. Its action is at once protective and_ preservative, maintaining the skin in a healthy condi- tion and retaining its youthful freshness. The Best of All Aids to Beauty of Skin and Complexion.
