walk, but treatment, especially for the
skin, is necessary, and though it may
seem severe, this is highly recommended:
A tablespoonful of sulphur taken every
other morning for q week, then omitted
for three mornings, and then taken again,
will clear the complexion, but will prob.
ably make the black spccks that. bother
women so much more numerous for q
week or two. A mixture of powdered
birthstone in diluted %glycerinc, rubbed
on at night in connection with the othcl
treatment, will soon cause them to dis.
appear. Wash this off carefully in the
morning with soap and water in which
there is n little ammonia. This is moi
commended for women who arc slendcrl,
built, nervous in temperament, and ap.
parcntly bloodlcss, but for those whe

complishcd unless the friction is rs rcgu-
larly applied as the wash. Then, if sue
cess is attained, the wash receives all the
appreciation, whereas the credit is due to
the rubbing. Almond or olive oils only
used to make the skin pliablc and to
open the pores, for it is to the dizziness
OF the rubber that the perfectly formed
woman in Oriental lands knows she is in
debted.
