ETA Yonno LADY retnrninp to he,

ETA Young Lady returning to her
country home, after sojourn Of few
months in the City, was hardly recognised
by her friends. In place of course, rus
tie, flushed face, she had soft ruby COM
plexion Of almost marble smoothness, and
instead Of twenty.three she really appeared
but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the
cause OF SO great change, she plainly told
them that she used the-Cncassian Balm,
and considered it an invaluable acquisition
to any Lady's toilet. By its use any Lady
or Gentleman can improve their personal
appearance an hundred fold. It is simple
in it's combination, as Nature herself is
simple, yet unsurpassed in it's efficacy in
drawing impurities from, also healing,
cleansing and identifying the skin and
complexion. BY its direct action on the
cuticle it draws from 1t all its Impurities,
kindly healing the same, and leaving the
surface as Nature intended it should be,
clear, soft, smooth and beautiful. Price 81,
