the letters which have piled up into
a stack as high and broad and long
as the moral law. l shall pause just
long enough to give you a formula for q
very delightful toilet vinegar. 1t is called

Oil Of lemon, one-fifth ounce.
Oil of lavender, one-f1fth ounce.
Oil of thyme, one-ffth ounce.
Oil of bergamot, one-fifth ounce.

This toilet vinegar will be found to be
particularly excellent in the treatment Of
greasy, sallow skins. 1t should be used
