HOW OUR GRANDMOTHERS MANAGED TO LOOK YOUNG AT SIXTY. "It is strange." remarked an old chemist the other day, "that so many women nowadays persist in trying? all sorts of injurious patent systems and complicated treatments, hoping to restore mined complexions <>r improve the appearance <>r their skins, vrheu they might easily iln so l.y the j*impie home remedies of their grandmothers. In olden times a w-oman looked comparatively yonng at sixty, while now naist women have blemished complexions lons liefore they are thirty. Yet nothing new has been indented anything like so effective as the old-time lotion nsed l.y famous French Court beanties. such as Reiamier and Un Barry, tn preserve their yonlhfnl appearance. The recipe was so simple: jnst 2oz. rosewater. 1 drain tincture of benzoin, and 2oz. ordinary fln-s-ers of oxzoin. which any chemist will supply. Mix the lotion well, then apply with a soft cloth. If you apply It regularly, it will not only keep the skin free from wrinkles, lint will quickly rastore the dullest complexion. My own daughter Is nearly fifty years old. and in this way she keeps her face looking so yonng and fresh that most people think she has not reached the age of thirty-five." The above advice Indicates such a simple, harmless means to rejuvenate the appearance, that It Is published for the benefit of lady readers.—(Ad.)
