We strongly recommend for chains and all other parts in need of lubrication Nixey’s “ Cervus ” Cycle Lubricant, sold in tubes, the most effective, noiseless and preserving we have seen.

TOILET SOAPS. • Nothing is more injurious to a sensitive skin than the use of a soap containing an undue proportion of alkali, or one made from cheap rancid fats. Many of the cheaper kinds of soap sold for toilet purposes contain irritating ingredients, some of the highly coloured old fashioned soaps being positively ruinous to the skin. In no matter therefore should more di.scrimination be used than in the choice of soap for Toilet purposes, and it is with pleasure that we are able to speak in high terms of the VINOLIA Soaps. They have been before the public for a number of years, and received the highest awards for excellence of quality. The “ Premier ” Vinolia Soap is specially prepared and sold at a price which brings it within the reach of all classes ; it is delicately perfumed, yields a splendid lather, and is most economical in use. It is admirably adapted for the most sensitive skins. Floral Vinolia Soap in sixpenny tablets is absolutely free from injurious ingredients, has a rich floral perfume, and does not dry or irritate the skin. Medical Vinolia Soap is specially prepared for the bath, and is highly recommended by the medical profession. I'oilet (Otto) Vinolia Soap is perfumed with the finest Otto of Rose, the rare and delicate properties of which are fully developed. Other high-class toilet soajDS manufactured by the Vinolia Co., comprise “ Liril ” Violettes de Parme and “ Losaria ” Peau d’ Espagne Soaps.

It is entirely free from bismuth or other injurious metallic ingredients, and may be freely used for the toilet or nursery without fear of any deleterious results. The mouth and the teeth play a very important part in the liability to microbic infection, and the Vinolia Dentifrices are offered as being aromatic, antiseptic, tonic, refreshing and preservative. They keep the teeth ivory white, the breath sweet, and the gums strong, and are most soothing to tender gums and sensitive teeth. Vinolia Dentifrices can be obtained in either powder, liquid, paste or soap. While on the subject of Vinolia Preparations, we take the opportunity of recommending Vinolia Cream which will relieve the most intense itching and allay irritation and inflammation of the skin when nothing else will. It is invaluable for Eczema, Insect Bites, Sunburn, Prickly Heat, etc. One of its greatest recommendations is that it does not “ run ” like ordinary ointments, consequently, it is perfectly adapted for cold sores, chilblains, etc., form- ing a perfect protective and emollient, and preserving the skin from the evil effects of wind, heat, irritating particles, etc. We must also add a special word of praise for Lypsyl, a coralline emollient for rough, cracked, dry or pallid lips. It is manufactured in Rose-red and White tints, and is most agreeable to use. While upon the subject of Vinolia Preparations, we 124 TIIK KXlinUTlON COOKKKY liOOK.
