The Attraction that Wins.

The most attractive ladies, noted for
personal beauty, are those who have
charming, white, clear compilations,
skin soft as velvet, free from all un-
slightly blemishes, cheeks blooming
with the roseate hue of perfect health.
Every lady, young or old, can possess
all these desirable charms by applying
Dupree's "Oil of Beauty" which is
used everywhere by the elite Of refined
society. 1t is not an injurious paint or
powder, neither an artificial "blOom I"
or " balm," to fill up the pores and dis
ease the skin, but a clear, fragrant
liquid, healthful as pure water, perma-
nently renewing sallOwness, black
heads, tan, &c, preventing chapping,
and makes the skin supremely beauti-
full. Sold by Seymour & Go.
