The Cult of Beauty. A RARE COLLECTION OF ' BEAUTY HINTS FROM NEAR'AND FAR.HOME RECIPES, Using Oxygen for r for the Complexion. "Chemistry at Home."

The mercolised wax .is absolutely harmless, and indeed very beneficial to the skin.' s * * To bring a' natural red . colour to the lips, Tub them with a soft stick of prolactum. * ' * For tir?d,' hot, or perspirintr feet use a teaspoonful* of powdered onalite in a foot-bath;' '
