DO YOU REALLY WASH YOUR FACE ?

This question is mainly for lady readers. A recent writer says: "There are really very few people who wash their faces properly. The principal work should be done at night, and, unless the skin is very thin, a rather coarse washcloth, well soaped, should be used, with plenty of warm water. While the pores are open, massage the skin with a little lanolin, applying with the finger tips, and knead the cheeks with the knuckles and palms of the hands. Anyone desirous of avoiding unique lines and wrinkles on throat and face should use this treatment patiently for one month. The improvement in the connexion will by that time speak for itself. A cheap and useful adjunct to the daily bath may be made with odd bits of soap as a basis. Place a cupful of these scraps in a large knitted or cheesecloth bag, with a quart of bran, loz of powdered orris root, and -J-oz of almond meal. This makes the Best skin beautifier ever invented, and after using it freely in the bath perceptible improvement in the complexion is noticed at once. Constant use will make the improvement permanent, and there will be also a luxurious feeling of perfect cleanliness, as well as a flowerlike odour about the person, the effect of the orris root."
