Doctors, of course, counsel frank

some suggestions from both medical
and beauty specialists which will help
you to carry your cold more grace

skin dryness, and makes a normally
smooth complexion, hands and nails
seem rough to the sight and touch.
The faithful use of rich emollient,

Moreover, your lubricant will help to
prevent the taking or breaking of lip
