Bloom of Circaffia:
IT is allowed that the Circafyan^ are the
most beautiful Women in the World —-
However they derive not all their Charms from
Nature. A Gentleman long resident there in
the„/ii/e of a Perfcn of Diftinaion, well known
for his Travels thro' Greece became acquainted
with the Secret of the Liquid Bloom extracted
from a Vegetable, the Produce of that Country,
in general used there with the most eflecmed
Beauties. It differs from all others in two
very essential Points; so il, that it innaotiy
gives a Rosy Hue to the Cheeks, not to be dis
tinguished from the lively and animated Bioora
of Rural Beauty, nor will it come off* by Per
spiration or the Use of an Harfkerchief.—A
Moment's Trial will prove that it is net to be
paralleled.
