VALUABLE ADVICE FOR OBTAINING A BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION.

BY COURTESY OF A LADY READBE. While recently glancing through a ladies' paper, ono of our readers noticed aaimple formula said to quickly banish all skin .irritations and greatly beautiful the complexion. Having given considerable study to chemistry, sho was immediately interested by the peculiar combination of ingredients. Her skin was rough and 6ore from exposure to tho sun and wind, so she determined to have tho lotion made up at once. Sho applied night and morning with a soft clotn, and in less than a week nil disagreeable traces of sunburn, fash, and blemishes had entirely vanished, her complexion was soft and smooth; ill fact, her appearance, was so greatly improved that her own mother was astonished, and asked the cause of the sudden transformation. This led to another trial of the samd lotion, and, despite the mother's age, her skin* bccamo clear and velvety. But what was even mora amazing, tho lines and wrinkles which hnd formed round Tier eyes and on her forehead began to Bmoot'h out and gradually disappear. Both mother and" daughter wero overjoyed at rthis unlooked-for result, and wondered if thero'wns not somo way of giving tho benefit of their experience to other women. They finally decided to writo to one or two of the principal papers about it. Upon receiving their communication, we gladly consented to publish for those interested tho valuable formula which thoy had found. It calls for 2oz. of rosewater, one dram tincture of benzoin, and 2os:. Flowers of Oxzoin, the mixturo to bo well shaken beforo using. Wo aro in-I formed that Jt is quite inexpensive, and can bo mado up by any good chemist, or easily prepared at home. A prominent member of the Faculty of Medicine of Paris, who specialises in the care of the skin, examined this formula for us, and states that the lotion made therefrom is perfectly harmless, and, besidsa being excellent for tho complexion, is also unexcelled for quickly eradicating blotches, pimples, blackheads,_ etc., which aro 60 disfiguring to tho skin.
