Of lemon juice to remove complexion

bring out the roses, the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemon
Juice alone is acid, therefore irri-
tating, and should be mixed with
orchard white this way. Strain
through fine cloth the juice Of two
fresh lemons into bottle containing
about three ounces of orchard white,
then shake well and you have a
whole quarter pint of skin and COM
plexion lotion at about the cost one
usually pays for small jar Of ordl-
nary cold cream. Be sure to strain
the lemon juice so no pulp gets into
the bottle, then this lotion will re-
main pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face,
neck, arms and hands it should help
TO bleach, clear, smoother and beau
tify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.
