LEMONS BRING OUT THE HIDDEN BEAUTY Make this lotion for very little cost and Just see
 for yourseh.

What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses. the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for small Jar or ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face. neck, arms and hands 1t should help to bleach, clear, smooth en and beautify the skin.
 Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very httle cost and the grocer has the lemons.
