h was drawn a glove or mitten

matter, in the way just indicated, would have been equally effective.

=Warts=, like chilblains, are too well known to require description.
They chiefly attack the hands, and particularly the fingers, but
sometimes occur on other portions of the body. They may be removed by
rubbing or moistening their extremities every day, or every other day,
with lunar caustic, nitric acid, concentrated acetic acid, or aromatic
vinegar, care being taken not to wash the hands for some hours after.
The first is an extremely convenient and manageable substance, from
not being liable to drop or spread; but it produces a black stain,
which remains till the cauterized surface peels off. The second
produces a yellow stain, in depth proportioned to the strength of the
acid employed. This also wears off after the lapse of a few days. The
others scarcely discolor the skin.

=To Cause the Skin to become Satin-smooth, and to Smell like a bunch of
Violets.=--Any one using the following preparation will be noted for
the fair softness of her complexion and the delicate perfume which
emanates from her person. For ladies who like perfume, and care for a
satin-smooth skin, the following is an invaluable toilet
preparation:--

Have your druggist mix for you one ounce tincture of orris, one ounce
tincture of benzoin, ten drops oil of neroli, and ten drops oil of
lemon. To use this perfume, add a tablespoonful of it to about a pint
of warm water. It will turn as white as milk, and the real perfume
will be given off, whereas while in the bottle it has anything but a
pleasing odor. Now, after your bath, just take a soft cloth and go
over yourself with this milk, dry thoroughly, and you will smell like
a bunch of violets. The perfume may be altered to suit you, or you may
add any handkerchief extract, but don't omit the benzoin, for that is
what gives permanence to the perfume and softness and smoothness to
the skin.

=To Cause Those Who have Lost the Bloom and Fairness of Early Youth to
Regain Them.=--Many ladies who as young girls were fair with a lovely
rosy bloom, lose these beauties very early in life; very many do this
at twenty, or very little later, and become sallow and heavy-eyed,
thus losing their principal charm. Now, this is very easily remedied.
Go to your druggist and ask him for some iron pills and for some
simple purgative to take with them. Ge
