Advertisement for Sunlight Soap, 1890. 'WHY DOES A WOMAN LOOK OLD SOONER THAN A MAN? - WHY DOES A woman's health so often break down at an early age? Put a man at a washing-tub; let him get heated with the hot suds until every pore is opened; then let him stand over the filthy steam that comes from scalding and boiling clothes, and his health certainly would break down before long. And yet this terrible ordeal is exactly what A WOMAN Has to go through on washing days...while overheated at the hot work, she has to risk her life by going out into the open air to hang up the clothes...Physicians & Boards of Health cannot draw attention too strongly to the injurious effects of the usual way of washing, with its necessary steam, and scalding or boiling...Fortunately, this trouble can be avoided...SUNLIGHT SOAP...[is] so purifying and cleansing that the dirtiest clothing can be washed in lukewarm water with very little rubbing, and Clothes, Bedding, and Linen cleansed without either Scalding or Boiling...the work is so light that a girl of 12 or 13 can do a large wash without being tired. Now there is a remedy for the great "washing day" evil...makes the White Pieces Whiter, Coloured Pieces Brighter, and Flannels Softer...LARGEST SALE IN THE WORLD'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
