you kindly give me a recipe for ski
food?
| Where there is just one wrinkle, a
one side of the mouth, it is usually
due to a missing tooth. Is this you
case? For skin food, take an ounce
of mutton OIL add to it two ounces Of
oil of sweet almonds and ten drops Of
oil of geranium
Miss ks there any way of devel
oping the bust?
If you will massage your chest with
skin food and leave it on, and if you

will walk in this manner, you will find
that the bust will increase several
inches in three months time
Mrs. Longwood.-Will you have ap-
