Eau de Fleurs de Venice :
O R, THE
VENETIAN BLOOM WATER.
THIS curious Water is extruded by an elaborate
chymical process from the most fragrant flowers,
and the purest dew collected in the month of May, and is
without dispute the most excellent cosmetic or beauty
waffi, ever yet difeovered ; giving to the skin the greatest
clearness, together with the fineft whiteness and foftnefs
imaginable. It takes away pimples, freckles, and spots
of every kind, with all disagreeable redness, tan, or sun
burn. It rentiers a rough ficin finely fmdoth, and de
stroys those minute worms which are so often lodged un
der and detorm the skin. It is p^ffeffed of such a nou
rifleng quOn,, that it preserves from wrinkieseven to
an adraceeg age, and in short, it so opens the pores of
the skin, and promotes the perforation of it. that it
gives the whole complexion, in a very short rim, that
fiefli, healthful and blooming appearance which it ought
.naturally to have when fee from any disorder. Ibis
admirable Water is not in the least of the nature of paint,
being of iJelf as clear and transparent as the fineft
chrylbl, nor i r there the smallest particle of Mercury,
or any o'ker cor-ufive substance in its competition, but it
is in all ief?eXs i^feaiy Life, innocent and harmich.
