had just finished Baby's evening toilet, and as I was going in to the bathroom, she offered 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- The perfume me-up than a bath finished off with this talcum. '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 afterward
Buy a tin today. It is invaluable for every member of the family.
