After Bathing.

There is nothing comparable TO
"GLENN's SULPHUR Soar" as a
means of removing the roughness
of the skin consequent upon salt
water bathing. A complexion
dazzling as that of the tabled Venus,
as depicted rising from the sea, is
produced by the use OF this beautis
Tying preparation. It leaves the
skin as glossy and smooth as satin,
and is in all respects superior to the
dangerous toilet powders, foreign
and domestic. It is literally as
harmless as dew. Beware of counS
terfeits. See that sc. N. CRITTENs
