PERFUME DRINKING IS ON INCREASE IN ENGLAND

The perfume drinking habit by society women of England is on the increase. * The habit is prevalent among certain sections of smart society and it has just as big a vogue in the moneyed suburbs, chemists state. “These women do not understand the risks they incur,” said one chemist. “They form the habit of steadying their nerves with perfume, usually after first using it merely to clean their teeth or ease neuralgia. Another trick, dating from the Stuart days, is for women to take a few drops of cologne water or other perfume on a lump of sugar to make the eyes bright or to cure headache.
