Wrinkled Throat

The following course of treatment
will work wonders it is said, with a
wrinkled throat and flabby chin, if per-
sisted in faithfully: First, wash the
chin and throat in hot water. Moisten
the finger tips with good cold cream,
and, starting with the left hand under
the right ear. draw it briskly but firm
ly from ear to chin. Then take the
right hand and repeat the movement
from the left side. The pressure from
chin to ear should be light, but under
the chin the pressure should be firm.
Ten minutes of this exercise should be
followed by douche of cold water, to
which has been added little astrin-
gent fluid, either toilet water or tine
ture of benzoin.
