Dear Mrs. thompson: ID What
is a quick bleach for red, feverish
complexion?
(2) What will take dark circles
from around the eyes?
go What will close the pores of
the skin and take off roughness and
make the complexion clear and
smooth? THANK YOU.
o. The following is a remedy for
inflamed skin: Boracic acid, one
dram; distilled witch hazel, two
ounces; rosewater, two ounces.
If this has no effect, it would be
we'll to consult a physician, as the
blood or stomach may be in a bad
condition, and a local treatment will
have little effect.
90 Some people have dark circles
that will not go away. Sleep, exer-
else and nourishing food help if any

60 A lotion for enlorged pores is
made of one dram of boric acid and
four ounces of distilled witch hazel.
| Apply with a piece Of old linen or a
bit of absodment cotton.
In order to relieve the skin, scrub
the face with a complexion brush
once a day and apply a good mas
