Chapped Hands

Our idea is that this is caused by the soda in the soap

used. At any rate, we have never known any one to suffer from chapped

hands who used M'Clinton's soap only.



It is made from the ash of plants, which gives it a mildness not

approached by even the most expensive soaps obtainable.



If the hands have become chapped, fill a pair of old loose kid gloves

with well wrought Lather (see), putting these on just when getting

into bed, and wearing till morning. Doing this for two or three nights

will cure chapped, or even the more painful "hacked" hands, where the

outer skin has got hard and cracked down to the tender inner layer.
