Inferior Castile Soap.

There is very little doubt that even the best brands of white castile soap are made from rancid olive oil, which,

being of too poor a quality for table use, is used for making soap. The best imported castile soap costs the importers only from 10 to 12 cents a pound, all over that paid by the public being profit to the importer and retailer, and pure, sweet oil brings too much to enable it to be made into castile soap and sold at any snch price. —Edinburgh Review
