Make This Beauty Lotion Fora Few
Cents and See For Yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten 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

the juice of two fresh lemons into bot.

orchard white, then shake we'll and you
have whole quarter pint of skin and
complexion lotion at about the cost one
usually pays for a small jar of ordinary
cold cream. Be sure to strain the lem
on 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 it
should helpto bleach, clear, and smooth
en- and beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three ounce
of orchard white at very little cost and

WHAT cATARRH IS

Science has shown that nasal catarTh
often indicates general weakness of
the body and local treatments in the
form Of snufs and vapors only irritate
and do little if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by enriching your blood with
the oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which
is a medicinal food and a building
tonic, free from any harmful drugs.
It is helping thousands. Try it.
