HOW TO ACQUIRE
A GOOD COMPLEXION

The following formula for d toilet
preparation that is probably the most
effective known to the profession for
producing the rose tinted complexion
now so desirable and enabling the dis
continuance of all cosmetics and pow
ders:
Two ounces Rose Water; one ounce
Spirits of Cologne; four ounces Sartoin.
Put the Sartoin into pint of hot
water (not boiling) and when dissolved
and cooled, add the Rose Water and
Cologne Spirits; then strain through a
fine cloth. Any large bottle will serve
as a receptacle. These ingredients can
be gotten from any well stocked drug
gist and easily mixed. Apply immedi-
ately after washing and to only por-
tion of the skin at a time, using the
bare hands. Never use cloth. After
one part is thus treated, proceed to
another. This should be done twice a
day or oftener, and no other lotion,
,sswder or cream need be used.
