| / read a book recently by won
derful Chinese lady, Chang zee,
called "a Chinese Childhood"
was particularly impressed by the
trouble her Aunt went to to stay
youthful looking. Now I haven't
tried this, so I'm not recommend
ing it, but if any of my readers
are interested, let me know how
it comes out. First you wash your
face with the white of egg to keep
the flesh tender. Then every night
at bedtime for two weeks, you APP
ply gelatinous paste made from
boiling down four big fresh pigs
knuckles, to your skin. The bool,
says the results are fantastic and
that at the end of two weeks there
won't be a wrinkle left in your
face. However / also noted that in
spite of the Herculean efforts of the
lady who used the above, she
could not hold husband. AS
said, if any Of you are brave
enough to try. this, let me know
how you come out.
