o. Ladies who use cosmetics should be
good chemists. Their action is thus describ-
ed in new work:
ga want of attention to the chemical ac-
ton of colors, has sometimes led ladies into
an embarrassing predicament. Bismuth pow
der, sometimes sold as substitute for gen.
uine pearl-powGer, has the property ofturn-
ing black when in contact with the fumes
Of sulphur, or with sulphurretted hydrogen
gas. A lady who painted with this cosmet-
ic, happened to battle in mineral water
impregnated with this gas; and the conse-
quence was that the arti6cially whitened
skin turned nearly black, and so remained
for several weeks.
Another lady who used the same cosmet-
ic, attended lecture at Harrowgate on
mineral waters; and the lecturer handed
round bottle containing sulphuretted wa
ter, that its odor might illustrate the point
on which he was directing attention. The
lady did as other ladies did,-smelt at the
bottle; and the result was, that she became
not merely fguratiyely, but literally "black
in the face" Even the Goals of a common
English fire often contain enough sulphur
to produce, in slight degree, an analogous
effect. Instances have been known in which
a lady, seated near large fire at Christmas
time, has had one side Of her white neck
tinged with darkness which puzzled all,
except those who were aware of the effect
of sulphur fumes upon bismuth cosmetics"
