RESTORING COMPLEXION.

The following prescription con-
tributed by a professional derma toll
ogist with a national reputation.
He says that in his long practice
he has never found anything TO
equal this mixture for bringing
back the rosy tint OF youth to the
skin. The formula Is as follows:
Two ounces Rose Water. one
ounce Spirits Of Cologne; four
ounces crystalized Sartoin. Put
the Sartoin into a pint of
hot water mot bOilingl and when
dissolved and cooled add the
Rose water and Spirits Of Cologne.
and strain through a fine cloth.
Any large bottle or a fruit Jar will
serve as a receptacle If It can be
closed air-tight.
These simple ingredients can be
obtained at any we'll stocked drug
store and easily mixed at home.
This preparation should be applied
once day after washing and mas
saged well into the skin II is said
the results become apparent afte-
the first few applications, but the
treatment should be continued until
the rose tint complexion becomes
permanent.
