"I simply

adore this lovely

perfume"

THERE is nothing so fragrant -so delightfully haunting-as the old-world perfume of lavender which is incorporated to perfection in Erasmic Old London Lavender Toilet Soap. This perfume has stood the test of time. It was as much a favourite in grand- mother's day as it is now. No other perfume is so refreshing-so delicate so pleasing.

And the soap-the rich, creamy lather, soft and soothing to the skin. How well it cleanses! How comforting it feels! It is a real beauty treatment in itself.
