Beauty dOCtOring has become q rec

counteract the ravages of sun, wind,

Those who have most successfully
combated these enemies of beauty say
that 1t is the little time (say a quarter

to the complexion or the hair, the reg

whether there is an apparent trouble
with the teeth or not, and the ability
to avoid worry, that has kept them
looking young and fair for many more
