Here it is: Half an ounoe tincture of benzoin, sixteen ounces best rosewater, ten drops attai rc see.— Sponge the wet skin with this preparation after the bath. An equal weight of refined linseed oil added to tni mixture and robbed well into the arms an t neck twice daily is said to be an excellent remedy for attenuation. The yonng woman who sends the formula declares that its use has transformed her scrawney neok and bony arms into a gratifying plumpness of outline.

Before his day no two smiths made plows alike; now they are all made in accordance with a mathematical formula.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
