Ancient and Modern Ideas on
the Subject.
Time and Disease the Effacing Agents Of
Beauty.
What Has Science Done to Restore the Lily and the Rose?


Theocritus delightful prejudice.
Theophrastus a silent cheat, Carnea-
des a solitary kingdom. Homer a glor-
ious gift of nature, Ovid favor of the
gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty
was better than all the letters Of rec
ommendation in the world. and yet
none of these distinguished authori-
ties has left us even hint OF how
beauty is TO be perpetuated, or the
rayages Of age and disease defed-

facing the complexion, and fills the
sensitive soul with agony uuspeakable.
If such be the unhappy condition OF
one afflicted with slight skin blern-
ishes, what must be the feelings OF
those in whom torturing humors have
for years run riot, covering the skin
with scales and sores and charging
the blood with poisonous elements TO

flames and burns until. in his efforts
for relief. the patient tears the skin
with his nails, and not until the blood
flows does sufficient relief come to
cause him to desist.
Thus do complexional defects merge
into torturing disease. and piqued
vanity give place 10 real suffering. A
little wart on the nose or cheek grows
to the all devouring lupus, patch Of

tiplies into a dozen, which eat away

the sufferings to which poor human
nature is subject, all of which involve
great mental distress because OF per
