wish to raise general scare
about cosmetics, for most OF them
are entirely harmless. Whether
the ones you may be using are
irritating or not can be determined
BY very simple experiment: Just
stop using them for 3 tins and
see what happens.
The inflammation will then soon
suhside. 1t is not, however, al
WAYS easy TO find the ingredient
responsible. and sometimes the
patient may have TO stop all cos
metics, lay aside furs and wear
only clothing that contains no
dyes. Sometimes women persist In
believing that their trouble IS due
to ''uric acid" or eczema or
"impurity in the blood" and then
their troubles may go on for a
long time while they dose their
insides with ineffective medicine.
They should learn that true in
