LASTING LOvELINEsS.-Tw y years
ago, when paint, pearl powder and ell
amel, were running the compleXious and
destroying the health of women of FASH
ion, Hagan's Magnolia Balm was brought
out as a pure botanical cosmetic, guar
anteed to restore bloom and beauty to
the skin. From that time To the present
it has been continually rising in publ!c
estimation as the safest and most uneX-
ceptionable preparation of its class. In
stead of producing an artificial, metallic
surface, like the deadly enamels, or wilt
ing the cuticle like the poisonous fluids
sold under various names as "beautiii-
ers." it keeps the skin as soft as velvet,
renders it as smooth and glossy as satin,
and imparts to it that delicate, rosy
tinge, which is the JcGu idcdt of COM
plcNional lnveliness. This exquisite
chrumatic effect is not transient. BY
applying the Balm daily it may he pro-
