Beware.

Beware of salves, beware of plasters, beware of eye-waters, beware of hairdyes, beware of washes for refining the skin, beware of toilet powders, and be careful in the use of scented soaps. Why? Salves make and keep the skin sore, plasters prevent wounds from healing, eye-waters do often more injury than good, most hair-dyes produce sore eyes, beautifying washes are often poisonous, ditto toilet powders, while scented soaps are usually too sharp by the free alkali they contain.— Practical American.
