ZEPHYItINE TISSUE.--In A-
ddison and Pope's
day the ladies patched their faces with small pieces of black
silk. A code of secret signals could 'be thus arranged for
questionable flirtation. Court plaister has, in later times,
made some amends for the hypocritical behests of its former
mistresses. Yet it is a harsh and in many cases pernicious
noa sore,su b s
t taupt to
it
so
at g e
ht
adnr
dy
. I t has, nevertheless,
and quit its duty at a
been much in request in the absence of a better protection
coveringtin o for
e n
for wounds. In a recent introduction, termed " Zephyrine
Tissue," we find all that is needed. It is singularly trans-
parent, and carries a charm, not only in its appearance, but
in its healing properties. A medical chest or housewife
without the Zephyrine Lome will in future be au anomaly.
