HEALTH AND BEAUTY HINTS.

In the quarterly bulletin of the La.
State Board Of Health, the warning is
given to women to avoid drugs, with
high sounding names that claim to be
beautifiers, saying, "If you have to
have these so-called health tonics and
|beautifiers, your druggist can usually
sell you the same material as adver-
tised at less than one tenth the cost"
The bulletin then proceeds to say that
canthrox is nothing but one-fourth
salts of tartar and three-fourths pow
dered soap, costing cents and selling
for fifty cents; crystos Is salt and boric
acid costing less than half cent and
selling for fifty cents, saxolite is COM
posed of dried alum and EPSON salts
used as face lotion with witch hazel.
Its approximate cost is one-third OF
cent, but women pay seyenty-fve cents
for it as wrinkle destroyer.
The analysis of many more drugs
with fancy names is also cited with
| the figures showing the immense dis
proportion between the actual cost OF
the ingredients and the prices obtain
ed. The State Board does not give it's
opinion as to the relative merits of the
preparations, for the purposes speci-
flied, but such familiar ingredients as
Iquinine, soda, boric acid, witch hazel,
whose use is known, should be con-
Ivincing evidence that no special merit
belongs to these drugs, as renamed.
| Every woman should obtain a copy
LOT the bulletin and use it for reference
twhen reading the advertisements OF
lbeauty nostrums, or failing that,should
determine not to purchase any beauti
fer with a fancy name until she first
learns of what it is composed, no,
only to be sure of it's value for the pur
pose in view, but to assure herself
that she is not paying heavily for some
well-known drug that could be obtain
ed far more cheaply. There is less
, reason for women being deceived OF
1.-THE score Of proprietary preparations
than ever before, since the reputable
, magazines for women give in each is
r sue, or for the asking specially, pre-
scriptions from competent physician
for the ordinary needs of the seeke
