A wellknown, skin and complexion specialist present gave sodm wonderful instances of cases wliero his patients had restored their disfigured complexions in an exceedingly' skoi't time- by applying this lotioit, which cdßsists of two- ounces of rose wider, o«e dram of Tincture Ben'zoin, and two ounces I'lowers of OxXoin; ami can be prepared' by any ehemist, many of whom keep it put (n> Mad,v .for use under tho tinino of i'lo.toin I/)iion. He advised the application of the lotion night a.nc! worniiiß. with a soft ciotii or sponge, <iml saiil Hint lie had never known it to fnil in ro* markably improving the completion and remoriHß all' skin blemishes in a few days. It is particularly vahwbic in nil cases when tho. teo has been chappeii by exposure to wind find weather, and quickly restores the soft pench-likc bloom of youth, even to complexions that have been apfittrfintiy mined beyond all hope ot redMnption.—Atlvt.
