This problem, as vou may guess, is the appearance of her hands. When your hands are red, coarse and rough, vour grocer knows they cannot be made clear and smooth again unless you avoid using common household soaps which irritate the skin. And vour grocer can tell you that you should be equally as careful about the kind of household soap you use as you are about your toilet soap. F\ ERY thinking grocer recommends Kirkman's Vi Soap for all your household purposes, knowmg it is as harmless to the hands as is the most exquis site toilet soap. 1t is free from lye to harm the skin or injure the most delicate fabrics. American grocers have sold it since 1837 and, knowing Kirkman & Son, they know it is made of the purest and finest materials.
