Advertisement for Pears' Soap, 1890. '"And a Nice Little Boy Had a Nice Cake of Soap Worthy of Washing the Hands of the Pope." Ingoldsby Legends. Good Complexion! and Nice Hands!...FROM Mr. J. L. Milton, Senior Surgeon to St. John's Hospital for the Skin, London..."I have tried very many different Soaps, and after five-and-twenty years careful observation in many thousands of cases, both in Hospital and private practice, have no hesitation in stating that none have answered so well or proved so beneficial to the skin as Pears' Soap. Time and more extended trials have only served to ratify this opinion which I first expressed upwards of ten years ago, and to increase my confidence in this admirable preparation". TO persons whose skin is delicate or sensitive to changes in the weather, winter or summer, PEARS' TRANSPARENT SOAP is invaluable, as, on account of its emollient, non-irritant character, Redness, Roughness and Chapping are prevented, and a clear appearance and soft velvety condition maintained, and a good, healthful and attractive complexion ensured. Its agreeable and lasting perfume, beautiful appearance, and soothing properties, commend it as the greatest luxury and most elegant adjunct to the toilet'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
