After the bath following vigorous exercise we
all need a powder that is absolutely smooth and silky." That's why I use Cuticura Talcum. It is the most exquisitely fine powder I've ever used. And the perfume is a wonderful blend both fragrant and wholesome;-it smells so clean and sweet." The reason why Cuticura Talcum is used by women who are extra particular about their toilet powder is that it has a fineness and purity which is unexcelled.
Cuticura is scientifically prepared by a special process it has the same guaranteed quality of excellence which has made Cuticura Soap famous all over the world. S If the skin is overheated and chafed, Cuticura Talcum soothes it at once. Its cool 'sating softness is like a balm. Use it after bathing-before dancing or strenuous exercise.
