Electricity has been advised and ill-advis-
ed. in my opinion, for the removal of
freckles. 1t is a most painful process and
besides the nervous shock there is always
danger OF blood poison. Women subject
to obstinate .freckles will do well to take
a good liver medicine as in ninety nine
cases out of hundred the subject is
troubled with a torpid liver. Even
though you remove your freckles through
the application of any one of the remedies
here given. they will speedily return until
the cause is removed. There are q num-
ber of excellent liver and blood pruprie-
tary emedles-inexpensive and efficaci-
GUS. A few years ago an attempt was
made to popularze freckles-they were,
to use the vernacular of the day, written
up, and columns were devoted to making
them fashionable. Many men were said
to declare freckles on pretty girls face

diseases, their causes and remedtes.)
With the Try hot winds OF spring and
summer many women resign themselves
to the pain and annoyance of burning,
often blistered faces and to countenance
plentifully besprinkled with freckles.
They have tried, they say, all sorts Of
remedies and in expressive if not pure
English they declare Nothing does them
any good" The following recipes are
the best known to science for sunburn
and lentigo (freckles). give them with
out scientific discourse on the causes of
these world common blemishes. for the
simple reason that we, none Of us, care to
hear the renowned DR.. Hebra's opinion
in endless detail that sunlight and heat
cannot produce freckles, so long as we
feel pretty certain that the sun does pro-
duce freckles where We happen to exist
and that while we remain in the shade
we practically control the situation. As
for another theory to the effect that
freckles are the result of too much iron
in the blood. which is brought to the sur
face of the skin Just as iron rust is de-
veloped on bit of cotton cloth, it ex.
plodes as many another plausible pIopo-
sition mas before-for on the microscopic
examination of drop of blood taken
from an auburn haired. pale-faced and
much freckled girl, the result is usually
lacking in iron. etc"
For ordinary summer freckles q good

almonds (blanched), 1 ounce: bitter al

water, n pint.
