TO REMOVE FRECKLES.
These are caused by an over-production of pigment in the skin, which
seems to be brought out in spots by the action of the sun's rays. They
can be made to disappear by the use of acid lacti, glycerina, of each one
fluid drachm. Apply night and morning with a sponge. Another remedy
is powdered niter moistened with water and applied to the face night and
morning. W. S,
CURE FOR A BROWN THROAT.
When the neck and throat have taken on a brown tinge from
exposure to the sun or from wearing the high stock collars so fashionable,
it can be remedied by using the following paste: Beat up an Qgg, add one
ounce of honey, one teaspoonful of lemon juice, six drops of oil of bitter
almonds and enough fine oatmeal to make it into a paste. Use morning
and night. D. J. A.
TO MAKE A HANDSOME THROAT.
To have a rounded throat, sing, whether you have a "voice" or not,
deeming the exercise valuable. At night wrap the throat in a linen cloth,
wet with scented oil. This will nourish the skin and soften its outlines.
Exercise the throat every day by turning the head from side to side slowly
but never fast. Try this ten minutes every night and morning. Friction
is too rough treatment for ordinary skins. If used to prevent wrinkles
it should be gentle and with a little massage cream on the fingers.
