REVEALS COMPLEXION SECRET OF THE SPANISH.
LADY TELLS HOW THEY KEEP THEIR YOUTHFUL COMPLEXIONS, EVEN AT SIXTY. "A3 a young girl." writes one of our readers, "I always had a nice clear and delicately-tinted complexion, but on reaching tho age of thirty it changed completely. Tne chilly winter wind,; and rain made my skin rough and dTy — my face used to burn and smart horribly after the slightest exposure to frost or cold. I felt very worried to see the dreadful change that was taking place. About this time I went for a trip abroad, and while travelling in the south of Spain became intimate with an elderly Spanish lady. Knowing how proud tbe Spanish girls are of their lovely skin, and hoping she could help me, I told her of ( my trouble. She advised me to obtain two ounces of rose water, one dram tincture of benzoin, and two ounces of 'ordinary (lowers of oxzoiu from the chemist, which, she said, I could mix myself, and after shaking well, apply it with a soft cloth or sponge. She stated that her family had used this lotion for years, and \owed it would quickly restore my complexion. I applied the lotion as she told ' me, and the result was surprising. In two days I saw a great difference. The skin was losing its roughness, the dry, tight feeling was easier, and the burning ceased altogether. After four days' use 4;he change was wonderful. My skin had regained its smoothness, the pores were no longer coarse, and my complexion had grown younger before my_ very eyes. Regular use of this splendid recipe has kept my complexion beautiful for thirty years, "it is inexpensive, delightful to use, and so effective that it cannot fail to pleasn anyone who trys it." — Advt.
