'It is strange," remarked an old chemist the other' day, "that so many women nowadays persist in trying . all sorts of injurious patent systems • and complicated treatments, hoping to restore ruined complexions or improve the appearance of tneir skins, when they might easily do so by the simple' home remedies of their grandmothers; In olden times a womea looked comparatively young at sixty, while now most women have blemished complexions long before they are thirty. Yet nothing new has been invented anything like so effective as the old-time lotion used by famous French Court beauties, such aa Recamier and Du Barry, to preserve tliolr youthful appearance. Tlie recipe was so simple: just 2oz. rosewater, 1 dram tincture of benzoin, and 2oz. ordinary flowers of oxzoin, which any chemist will supply. II ix the lotion woll, then apply with a soft cloth. If you apply it regularly it will not only keep the skin freo from wrinkles, but will quickly restore Ihe dullest complexion.' My own daughter is nearly fifty years old, and in this way she keeps her face looking so young an.'l fresh that most people think slie lias not reached the age of thirty-five/' The abovo advico indicates sue.li a simple, harmless moans io rejuvenate the Apppisrmioe, that it is published for Ijy JwMftt ef la,d£ readers.»Adrt,
