The Complexions

of the Women of England

Where will you find such a high average of clear, fresh, radiant complexions as among the women of England?

This is a natural heritage — partly; but it is due also to an appreciation of the true value' and 'Im- portance of consistent use of pure, fine toilet soap to help preserve the skin's dainty texture and exquisite natural colouring."

To-day, one of the favourite soups in the Old Country is

PEERLESS

ERASMIC

The Dainty SOAP.

Englishwomen know its exceptional value as an aid to beauty. Its pure vegetable oils feed the tissues.of the skin and maintain the firm, smooth texture. The soothing herbs,"used in its making, are a balm for the skin, helping to maintain, the fresh, glowing bloom of youth. And its delicate perfume lends to the skin the enduring fragrance of dew-drenched violets,

Economical, too-a single cake of Peerless Erasmic outlasts two or three cakes of ordinary soup." Why not use Peerless Erasmic and keep your com- plexion lovely?

All Chemists have this pure, fine soup.
