Lemons Beautify!
Strain lemon juice we'll before

Here is told now to prepare an IN
expensive lemon lotion which can be
used to bring back to any skin the
sweet freshness, softness, whiteness

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at

Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through fine cloth so

Just try it! Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
