Advertisement for Pears' Soap, 1883. 'A Few Words Concerning the Care of the Skin and Complexion, 1883. 'REPRINTED FROM A "HEALTH LECTURE," BY THE COURTEOUS PERMISSION OF THE LECTURER, DR. ANDREW WILSON. Lecturer on Health under the "Combe Trust"; Lecturer on Physiology, Edinburgh, &c...the necessity for frequently and thoroughly cleansing the skin - the absolute necessity, I would say, for hot or tepid baths - is clearly demonstrated, when you reflect that everyday the scarf-skin is throwing off its old cells, that every hour the invisible perspiration is collecting on the skin-surface, and that our clothing, however clean, is likewise liable to retard the free action of this membrane...Whoever can promote the erection of baths in the populous districts of our great cities, and encourage their frequent use by all classes of society, will prove himself a public benefactor and a health-reformer of no mean power...For it is easy to show that the beginning and the end of a large part of our health exists in the proper care of the skin, and in its freedom from the "sanctity of dirt," a condition extremely prevalent in bygone days...If I am to recommend any soap at all to you, I would certainly advise you to buy and use Pears' Soap'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
