Council of said city Aug. lsth.1889, vix.t Dated Owosso Aug. ii, 1889. v Frask W. Smith, Clerk. "What is it they put in Ivory Soap, Doctor, to obtain its healing qualities ? " . . "No special ingredient is used. It is simply because the Ivory is as nearly pure as it is possible to make soap. Any soap that is as pure as the Ivory will be equally as healing in its effect, but the difficulty is to find a soap so pure. The profession recommend this non-irritating soap simply to cleanse the wound, then nature does the rest. You can readily appreciate what the effect would be if youi neck had been washed with an impure and adulterated soap. Avoid colored and highly perfumed soap, for the coloring and perfume are so often used to disguise something the soap should not contain." A WORD OF WARNING. There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the 'Ivory';" they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it. Copyright 1886, by Trocter & Gamble. CLOSING OUT SALE !
