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 complexion lotion at shout

small jar Of ordinary cold cream.
Be sure to strain the lemon juice
so no pulp gets into The bottle,
then this lotion will remain pure
