CAMAY SOAP

SIR,—The statement made about Camay on February 24 in the House of Commons, as reported in your issue of February 27, is privileged but quite untrue. Camay is a high-quality beauty soap and contains no harmful ingredients whatever. Over the past year we have introduced Camay by a sample to sixteen million households and many millions of bars have also been distributed by retail purchase. During that period no proven case of dermatitis relating to Camay has come to our notice. We have invited Mr. Francis Noel-Baker to visit our research establishments to see the steps we take to ensure that all our products reach the highest standard of safety.—Yours faith- fully,

Newcastle upon Tyne
