Too much Alkali in tho soap, which draws the natural oil from the skin, leaving it harsh, dry, and liable to crack, or the fats, from which the soap is made, are not properly combined with the alkali, so, from its greasy nature," it is impossible to rinse off the soap after washing. Prof. Leeds, Ph. D., Stevens Institution of'Tcchnology, says: "The IvorvSoap,, while strongly cleansing, leaves the skin soft and pleasant to the touch, instead of harsh, uncomfortable, and liable to chap." A WORD OF WARNING. There arc many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the 'Ivory' i" 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.
