Baby's Nannie advised me to use this Talcum Powder
"One day I came home hot- and tired after four strenuous sets of tennis-my skin felt hot
and prickly all over. Nannie
had just finished Baby's evening toilet, and as I was going in to the bathroom, she effered me baby's tin of Cuticura Talcum. I've never known anything so soothing-it is the finest talcum powder I've ever known-after strenuous exercise I ask for no better pick- me-up than a bath finished off with this talcum. The perfume alone made me love it at once-such a delicate, sweet fragrance.'
It is because of its fineness and absolute purity that Cuticura Talcum is recommended by doctors and nurses for a baby's sensitive skin. And this is the reason why women find it a joy to use after bathing-or when. ever the skin is chafed and feels tender. No other powder is so satiny smooth-it is like a cooling balm on a hot skin. And its sweet, refreshing fragrance perfumes the whole body long afterwards.
