Democratic Sentinel, Volume 21, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 January 1897 — Removing Ink from Fingers. [ARTICLE]

Removing Ink from Fingers.

To the young women employed in the offices of large cities one of the most serious annoyances is the fact that from time to time their pretty fingers become discolored by the ink used in their business. It will be of interest to these unfortunates to know that a number of chemicals may he employed to free their digits from the stain and put them in proper condition for the next party, but the use of these articles Is inadvisable from the fact that they sometimes remove the skin along with the ink. A bit of pumice stone, smoothed and vigorously used on the finger tips, will effectually cleanse them from any stain, without the danger of causing soreness, which frequently arises from the employment of chemical preparations.
