Light Rubbing.

If your pumice stone is soft and
fairly smooth, as it sometimes is, you
won't need anything else but a little
light rubbing over the hairy surface.
But il the pumice stone is coarse and
rough. wet it a little with soapy water.
and then rub it briskly and lightly in
circular manner over the skin on
which the hair is growing. You will
soon wear off the hair. and if you rub
lightly you won't irritate the skin. Ir
YOU do, apply a little glycerine or cold
cream.
Most people can use glycerine on
their hands and arms, though they can
not use it on their face and it is a
good thing to have on ones wash
stand for its constant use will keep
the hands very nice and soft
Probably the main reason why the
skin Of so many hands is SO coarse
and ugly is because people don't take
time enough to dry their hands prop
erly, but hurry over them as best they
may.
The little white spots on the nails
are due to poor circulation and the
ridges on the nails come from excess
uric acid in the blood
The white spots occasionally come
from bruises or bumps. and then they
soon disappear, but when they are the
