Lovers of perfume will be
pleased to know that an emf
nent French specialist has dis
covered that many of these
fragrant essences are not only
harmless, but of actual value
to health. He demonstrates
this fact by the result of ex-
periments whereby he exposed
a number of disease microbes to
the action of various essential
oils distilled from flowers and
plants. Bitter almond, thyme,
lemon, and mint proved exceed
ingly killing, while lavender
ranked higher than either euca-
lyptus, turpentine or camphor.
We have an immense assert
ment of Roger & Gallet's famous
French perfumes direct from
the factory. We are selling
them at popular prices as usual.
