What is Talcum Powder? jtef TALCUM is an inorganic substance—neither dampness, heat or perspiration affect it. Rice, starch, and other vegetable powders are organic— they are affected by temperature and moisture —perspiration sours them—when sour they become a source of irritation and a breeding place for infectious germs. I jT. Borated Talcum Powder will not sour or ferment; and, medicated in the proper proportion, covers baby's skin with a protective* coating against threatening germs. You use, Talcum Powder in such unlimited quantities .on the sensitive skin of your baby, that the selection-of a pure, •safe powder is of great importance. - if ; - FOR GROWN-UPS ■ -Mennen's Scented Toilet Talcums '_Sen Yaas— ,»ith a seductive odor of the Orient, f Flesh Tint—With the odor of Roses, and delicately pin::.
