WOUdu 5 privilege as well as
L duty to consider her looks, her
gowns, and to study what best
becomes her" said one of the beauties of
our social four hundred. I'VE should
therefore, as matter of duty, avail our
selves OF all natural means of enhancing
our looks, Denefting our face or figure,
whenever we can do so, without resort
ing to paint OF other unnatural means.
The benefit of sunlight to the skin and
hair cannot be overestimated. To quote
DIR. R V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, tie
specialist IN woman's diseases: ~Sun-
shine acts on the body something like
electricity; it quickens the circulation
OF the blood, starts an activity Of the
skin, heart and lungs, which it lacks if
the person is shut up in dark quarters.
In the same way that plant drooDs and
withers in the dark, so does a Young
woman shut up in office, factory or
house. The country girl who gets out
IN the good fresh air and sunshine will
bloom like the rose compared with her
frail city sister. Our city girls, confined
at home or in Office and factory, grow
pale and ssllow, crows feet appear, dark
circles beneath the eyes-the eyes them
selves become dull. This Isl apparent
with our girls of high or low degree, for
the society girl becomes WORKOUT with
the pleasure and gaieties of life, and
fast loses her beautiful skin To regen-
crate aud make beautiful both face and
figure your attention should first be
called to the lack of sunshine and air,
an abundance of which should be i'm
mediately and persislently supplied, and
then to a wOmanly tonic and regulator
that viii assist all the bodily functions.
Wrinkles are caused by shrinking Of
the tissues Just under the skin. IF the
tissues can be nourished in advanced age
as in early life, the folds in TIE skin will
disappear and the face viii be smooth
and young again. As rule, the average
health Of our American women has been
increasing for years. There is no nation
on earth that can show a finer or more
healthful class of women but the de-
Uands of society, the effects of unwise
clothing and unwholesome food do much
more harm TO the health of the girl or
woman than does a reasonable amount of
study or homework. Girls are allowed
TO study when they should simply be
permitted to expand, like a flower. In
early youth little wrinkles pass unno-
dced because Of the great elasticity of
the skin and the activity of the scbacious
glands, but as one grows older the skin
dries up and reacts slowly; later IT ceases
to react at all. The skin when it looks
badly is improperly nOurished or out of
order in some manner or other. 1t can
not resist the wrinkles made by laugh
ter, tears or worry, so there are formed
crows feet, lines, etc Bathing in tepid
water or cold water is good for the skin
when accompanied with good rub with
a towel until the blood is drawn to the
surface.
American houses are kept too hot
the skin Is dried by the hot air. If our
women went out doors more, accustonI-
ing themselves to the cold air of winter,
their blood would react quicker anu their
skin keep fresher. If the skin does not
seem to get the proper amount of nour-
ishment they should take some tonic
for increasing the blood supply Better
to take a tonic which has no alcohol
in it, as alcohol tends 70 dry ND the
red blood corpuscles. Such an one is
an Alternative extract from roots and
herbs, made BY DR.. R v PIERCE
called his Golden Medical Discovery"
Some women seem to have found the
secret of perpetual youth-"Age cannot
wither them" They have learned that
fairness of face and form depends upon
the health, and that the general health
depends upon the local womanly health.
If the special womanly organs are weak,
if the woman suffers frou too great pain
at special periods, if disagreeable drains
draw lustre from the ewes and weaken
the bodily strength, then a medicine
specially prescribed for women, which
makes weak women strong and sick
women well, should be taken, remedy
which has stood the test of public APP
prevail for nearly forty years. Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription was speci-
ally intended for the diseases of women
