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 this way Strain through fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons in- te bottle containing about three. ounces of orchard white, then shake @ell and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about tht cest one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Ba sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands 1t should help to bleach, clear, smoother and beautify the skin.
