10 QUE R DICEN
Y 70 COMENTO
Por Jose r. Sanfeliy

Los que leemoS los anuncios q.
aparecen en- las publicaciones
de todas classes con ell Gnico OF
jeto de aprender algo nuevo, en-
contramos sorpresas en- las de-
elaraciones de los anunciantes,
Esta por ejemplo: Isl una mu-
ier no es bella, ella misma tiene
la culpa." Isl su epidermis no
es como ell petalo de una rosa,
81 sus manos no poSeen la Suavi-
dad de la Garcia de un angel, 81
sus ojos no destellan la debida
brillantez, es simplemente a eau
ga de que ella no esta compran
10 los produetoS de la firma, en-
polvos de arroz, pinturas, ali
mentos' para la piel, carmln
para los labios y perfumes para
toio su cuerpo.
FL resultado de esoS anuncios
ha sido que las mujeres de Es-
tados Unidos gastaron 100000
600 de d6lares en- cosmeticos pa
Ira embardunarse la cara, EN- ell
Iaho 1888. Este enorme gasto 10
ha producido mas benefIcio a
sus espiritus que a sus fisono-
MAS. Nuestras damas han com
prado un tremendo tonelaie de
brillantes promesas, pero todas
de dudosa confirmation. Tam
bien compraron $1,000 tonela-
las de cremas para limpiar la a.
pidermis, $4,000 toneladas de 10
clones para la piel, con 10000
toneladas de jabones para ell to-
cador y banjo,
Para saber 81 las mujeres han
recibido ell valor de su dinero,
no hay mas que interrogar a IN
dermat6logo, a uno o mas dc e.
SOS specialists, y las %contesta-
clones seran muy variadas, y
Jos resultados son q. la piel y o.
tras "titiritainas', no son nj
mas nj menos que cuentos de ca
mino. La piel humana es no.
tablemente impermeable, aspe-
de resistir una gran cantidad de
de rsistir una gran cantidad de
malos tratamientos pero con-
trario a todas las charlatane-
rias, no asimilara ningdn "ali-
mento". Solo puede ser nutri-
da desde Ell interior, por medic
de la circulation. Su apariencia,
mustia 0 brillante, refleja la sa-
.lud interna de la persona. MIN
guna preparation aplicada a la
piel produce efecto en- los
mGsculos, como tampoco ningu-
ma crema puede hacer desapa-
recer las inevitables arrugas.
Los laboratories han analiza-
do muchos productos, hacienda
estudios y comparaciones. Cos
meticos que Sc pueden comprar
per cinco y diez centavos en- las
tiendas de baratijas, son los mis-
mos que cuestan de dos a seis
pesos en- salones de embelleci-
mientos. TodO depende del en-
vase y la etiqueta. la bandera
que cubre la mercancia'. FL d.
nico ingredients que no sc ha pc
dido analizar en- los COSMETICS,
es la "Esperanza" de las que los
usan.
