Bath and Beauty.

Il Is necessary for q person TO take
as good care Of the body as the face to
obtain the clear, healthy complexion 90
much desired by all. A cold bath every
morning for very vigorous persons, or
once or twice q week, and thoroughly
rubbing with a coarse towel or flesh
brush mornings when the bath is not
taken, for the less robust Is necessary
to keep the functions of the skin in
health and very invigorating. After
warm baths at night dash Of cold
water will prevent chills. Clothing
worn during the day should never be
slept in, and that worn at night should
be exposed during the day to the air.
Quantities of moisture filled with the
waste of the body are given of every
day and mostly absorbed by clothing.
Exposure to air and sunlight purifies
the clothing and bedding of the poisons
which nature is trying to get rid of and
which would otherwise be brought
again in contact with the body. BY
following these healthful everyday d.
rections and taking equally good. care
of the face you will soon notice de.
cided improvement in the tone Of your

cinal properties which 1t extracts and
holds in solution much better than alco-
hol would. It also possesses medicinal
demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic and anti

tanned In Golden Medical Discovery" in
subduing chronic, or lingering coughs,

In all cases where there is wasting
away Of flesh, loss Of appetite, with
weak stomach, as in the early stages Of

glycerine acts as valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherrybark in
tesh and strength, controlling the cougs

Of the whole system. OF course, it must
not be expected to work miracles. It will
