PERRY's Moru AND FREcKLs LOTION
Chloaslna, or Mothpatch, (also called Liver
spot,) and Lentigo, or Fieckles, are often
very annoying, particularly to ladies ofli light
complexion, for the discolored spots show
more plainly on the face Of blonde than Of
brunette; but they greatly mar the beau
ty Of either; and any preparation that will
e.fectualy remove them without injuring
the texture or color Of the skin is certainly
desidcratum. DR.. b. 9. Perry, who has
made diseases of the skin speciality, has
discovered a remedy for these discolorations,
which is at once prompt, infalliblc. For sale
by. Hitchcock & Starks, and Stevenson 4
