H1.A Yourg lady returning to hel

BIA Young Lady returning to her
country home, after a sojourn Of few months
in the City, was hardly recognized by her
friends. In place of a coarse, rustic, finished
face, she had a soft ruby complexion of al
most marble smoothness, and instead Of
twenty three she really appeared but eigh-
teen. Upon inquiry as to the cause Of SO
great change, she plainly told them that
she used the CIRCASSIAN BALM, and con-
sidered it an invaluable acquisition to any
Lady's toilet. By its use any Lady or Gen
tleman can improve their personal appear
ance an hundred fold. 1t is simple ats COM
bination, as Nature herself is simple, yet un
surpassed in its efficacy in drawing impuri-
ties from, also healing, cleansing and beautify-
ing the skin and complexion. By its direct
action on the cuticle it draws from it all its
impurities, kindly healing thesame, and leav-
ing the surface as Nature intended it should
be, clear, soft, smooth and beautiful. Price
