31[ADAME RACHEL'S MATCHLESS ART
gives youth, beauty, grace, and elegance to persons
wrinkled, freckled, scarred, or aged, as on the great trial
(Rachel v. Carnegie) it was proved beyond a doubt that
Rachel was and is the Po'e professor of the beautiful art of
which her name stands the marvel of the age. AlI other
persons presuming to style themselves enamellers, and who
are vending injurious and destructive compounds in imita-
tion, commit a gross fraud on the public.-47A, New Bond-
street.
