Eau de Fleurs de Venice :
O R, THE
VENETIAN BLOOM WATER.
THIS curious Water is extracted by an elaborate
chymical process from the most fragrant flowers,
and the purest dew rolle&ed in the month of May^ and is
without dispute rhe most excellent cosmetic or beauty
wash, ever yet discovered ; giving to the skin the 'g r ea!eft
clcarnefs, together with the fineft whiteness and foft efg
imaginable. It takes away pimples, freckles,' and foots
of every kind, with all disagreeable redness, tan, or sun
burn. It renders a rough skin finely, smooth, and de
fttoys those minute worms which are so often lodged un
der and deform the (kin. It is possessed of such a nou
rishing quality, that it preserves from wrinkles even te
an advanced age, and in short, it so opens the pores of
the (kin, and promotes the perspiration of it, tint it
gives the whole complexion, in a very short time, that
freffi, healthful and blooming appearance which it ought
naturally to have when fiee from any disorder. This
admirable Water is not in the least of the nature of paint,
being of irfelf as clear and transparent as the fineft
chryftal, nor is there the smallest particle of Mercury,
or any other corrosive fnbftance in its composition, but it
is in all reCpeds perfectly fafe, innocent and harmless.
