VALUABLE ADVICE FOR OBTAINING A BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION

BY COURTESY OF A LADY READER. While recently glancing through a ladies’ paper one of our readers noticed a simple formula said to quickly banish all' Skin irritations and greatly beautify the complexion. Having given considerable study to chemistry, she was immediately interested by tho peculiar combination of ingredients.
