OF arsenic by women is Increasing. They
cat it in two forms; the white powder ol
ar-eaous aeid and Fowler's solution.

complexion. lis influence is principally
on the capillary surface of the skin which
produces the plumpnsss. In plain Eng
lish, water is the influence at work, and
in the end it shows itself. The skin as
sumes watery transparency, which in
its turn gives way to ghGstlincss and
whitening OF the lips, That IL the swek-

first dose lures them on to its use, and,
though some systems eudufSthe Drug
