the face is the secret of beauty. 1t
gives youthful glow and softness to
the skin which is delightful. 1t causes
the blood to flow freely through the
veins, giving life to the flesh, and it
prevents the formation of such de-
formities as blackheads, pimples and
even wrinkles. These blemishes upon
the surface of the skin, and ofttimes
beneath the surface, are due to the
blood being stagnated, and if not at
tended to will form into hard spots,
which are often removed with great
difficulty and pain.

the cheeks and under the chin gently.

very pure, healthy cream used for this
purpose is witch-hazel cream.
