This Trying Season Consider Your Complexion!

All over New Zealand, at all seasons of the • year, there are spells of weather that are trying for a delicate skin. This is especially so at late autumn and' through all the months of winter. The fact that our winter is not generally severe makes women unduly careless about their complexions. There could not be a greater mistake. The sudden changes that are so common during these common months, the frequent harsh winds and humidity, try the skin severely, and if you do not take scrupulous care of your skin your complexion must suffer.

There are various ways of caring for the skin. It is not sufficient to care for your general health, because many robust and hearty people have very bad complexions. All exposed skin surfaces need external care. That is where you need to be careful. Many advertised skin lotions and creams; arfi positively injurious, and in the end destroy what they are said to preserve. On the other hand', there are many good specifics. It is to your interest to get the best of these.

The specialties that Mrs Arthur Stannard guarantees with her nom de guerre of John Strange Winter are the best she has been aible to discover or obtain in researches that she carried on for years in many parts of the world,. She states her honest conviction that Lakshmi is absolutely the safest and most beneficial skin lotion ever sold. It strengthens and stimulates the skin to resist every change of temperature and the severest weather conditions. It keeps the pores healthy and active, and feeds and ventilates the whole skin fabric to the lowest layer. . It acts like a charm, often in the most apparently hopeless cases. The woman who once gives it a fair trial is completely satisfied. Its purity and w.holesomeness are proved by the fact that it is excellent for the nursery. You are recommended, alike in the children's case and your own, to use Lakshmi in conjunction with Lakshmi Cream. This is a superb skin cream. It keeps the skin supple and radiant. It has a delicious fragrance, and nothing could be pleasanter in use. Both these specifics, if used regularly according to directions, go a long way. To the woman who cares for her appearance they are no more luxuries than soap is a luxury. They are necessaries of the modern toilet.
