mean spagett it, but the childrenand I will be leaving just as soon
as I can. Look Crassish comesdown on the second later along time square

(19:11):
the auto lobby play many If youladies have an ask bigger question than I
would like to answer. The questionis how can I keep my hands soft
and smooth regardless of the extra workI'm doing? All right, here's the
answer. Replace the natural oils yourskin loses with lanolin. You see,
when your skin loses its natural oilsdue to hard work, exposure, and

(19:33):
frequent washing, it becomes dry inparts looking the softness and smoothness is gone.
So the answer is keep your skinsupplied with the substance which scireists say
most nearly duplicates the functions of thenatural oils of the skin, and that
substance is lanolin and Lanolin is containedin Campana cream bombs. So when your

(19:55):
hands lose their natural oils and becomedry and unlovely, turn first, who
ca Tapanah cream Bomb containing lanolin?A. Keep in mind that Campanah Cream
Bomb contains lanolin in addition to allits other skin softening ingredients, and you'll
understand why this new lotion with lanolinis growing in popularity. Daily Cantanah Cream

(20:15):
Bomb is lusciously creamy, instantly soothing, delightfully fragrant, and completely free of
after you stickiness. So don't letyour hands lose their appeal to romance.
