TILE MisK OF BEATTY.

Ancient and Modern Articles of the
Toilet and Bath--The Never Ending
struggle to Preserve and Beautify the
Skin.
The frightful extent TO which the arts Of
the toilet are now being carried leads one
to question if many Of the prevailing dis.
eases of the skin, especially of the skin OF
the face and throat, are not due to the
action of cosmetics upon so delicate and
complex q surface. The production of
rouge alone has reached shocking proper
tons, while that of chalk and bismuth,
arsenic, anthony and other aids to Artiice
do not fall far behind. No expense has
been spared, both in the present and in the
past in bringing these articles to the last
point of perfection; and Sir Humphrey
Davy has related an instance of an English
manufacturer of rouge Offering thousand
pounds for the secret of Frenchmans SUI
perior preparation, the sole secret being,
howeVer--tO such nicetv had the manufac-
ture being brought-that in France rouge
could be made undeNthe bright sun that
nature had denied to The British manutac-
turer, a sunbeam turning the scale.
In the time of Louis Nv Of France, there
was issued 4 decree announcing that who
soevcr by means of red or white paint,
perfumes or essences, or other arts of the
toilet, should seek to entice into marriage
be prosecuted for witChCratt and declared
unfit for matrimony, and the same runs rs
an unwrittcn decree in all mems minds to-
day. Why should one fill up the won
drously intricate pores of the skin With
poison to he absorbed into the system
when exactly the opposite course is all
that is needed, the opening and cleansing
of the pores with properly medicated soap
and water in order that existing poison
may be cast out, thus acquiring the pure
rose and white natural to every healthy
skin? Othclln himself in his hour of mad
ness would not mar the skin of BESIDE
mona.
Tint whittier skin Of hers than snow,
Aud smooth as monumental nlabaSter
II would he cruel in us to excite the in
terest of the sentler sex in the matter Of
complexion if we could not offer a possible
pandcea without fear of undue preference.
1t is fact well known to dermatologists
that for several years the Cuticura Medi-
Gated Toilet Soap has been unrivallcd MS a
skin beauttier. Not only does il contain
the delicate odor and emollient and cleans
ing properties of the finest toilet soaps, but
it goes step further than any soap yet
prepared and, by reason of its delicate,
vet effective, medical properties derived
from Cutcura, is enabled to remove skin
blcmishos by restoring to activity those
diseases or inilamed vessels of the skin
which cause Complexional designations.
1t so purilics the pores and enivens and
strengthens the glands, that the skins
comes into that normal condition of posi-
tive wholesomeness in which it calls for
the richest blood and freest action, so that
the damask flush comes and goes upon the
cheek with the shifting beauty of the
northern lights in the sky. No woman is
insensible to the advantages given by the
bounding flllness of the vein under the
transparency Of perfect skim but no
woman can have either the bounding vein
or the transparent skin who does not
maintain the health of the circulation and
excretion by the pleasant friction of the
bath with deliCatcly medicated soap.
Wherever the Cuticura Soap is daily used
with soft water, directly upon the face,
there will be no sallownesS, no pimples,
no blackh no new warts and moles,
and no eruptions or rashes, while rough
ness and assures will speedily disappear,
chaps will be impossible. and that general
redness, which gives to every face suffering
from il an air Of blowsy vulgarity, will
yield to soft fairness with the blush only
upon the cheek and chin. The chemist,
| who originally sought and found the CON
stituents of Cnticura from which this soar
| derives its purifying and identifying prop
critics, did II for the relief of one dear Il
| him, and felt rewarded in his success. But
] lilt SulitllllEa VI ilph many Aii
known to him has he allayed, and what
| gratitude has he received2 Nothing is
| known in science to equal the Cuticura
Soap for its peculiar property of cleansing
clogged pores, freshening the accustomed
lubricators, and rendering the skin flexible
smooth and fair. That distiguring and
mortfying condition Of the chin and
mouth which with scurf and scales atflict'
so many women in middle life, is destroyed
by IT,, with now and then an amounting oi
Cnticura, or an occasional dose of Cuticurf
Resolvent, and the young girl tortured by
humiiatng ache will find her foreheac
smooth and fair as an infants if she per
seyeres in its use, 1t is guaranteed by the
state assayers and chemists Of Massachu
sets TO be free from any mineral, metallic
or vegetable poison, and to contain not on'
particle of anything noxious, and neithe
art nor medicine is able to do anything fo
the skin that shall render it more healthy
fresh and radiant with beauty than hn
now been done by the discovery OF III,
