IvAWSoN & Jones, i rintkrs, London, .* ^^JO"- G/ntroauctorv|. Herein you will find one hundred (loo) recipes which I have tried myself, personally, and know them to be the best that can be produced, being the most simple and effective, thereby saving much extra expense, • vch is generally incurred by the use of lengthy recipes, ^vhich give less results than those which you will find contained in this book. In presenting this book to the public with much trouble and expense, I know 1 shall be fully repaid by the apprecia- tion of a public which is always alive to the want of such a book as I now put before you, and which I hope will meet with success. In putting up the preparations contained herein, they can be put up in proportions to suit purchasers' use. V h I V d a I^ecipe for I^^ougc — CLallcd D/Caidea's B^isK. Carmine, - • - - 3° gJ*.

How TO Use.- With a camel's hair brush or piece of fine sponge, apply a little of the Solution "A" to the tanned or freckled surface, until a slight but tolerably uniform brownish surface has been produced. At the expiration of fifteen or twenty minutes moisten a piece of soft rag with Solution " 15 " and lay it on the affected part, removing and squeezing away the liquid, soaking it again afresh and ap- plying until the Iodine otain has disappeared. Repeat the entire process three times daily, but diminish the frecjuency of the application if tenderness is produced. In the course of a few days to as many weeks, the discoloration will have entirely disappeared. This you will find a sure remedy for the removal of freckles and sunburn. T'acc BlcacK.

A gallon of the syrup costing about fifty cents, and the sugar simply the cost of the ordinary cheap sugar.

To make the sugar, simply boil the syrup until it is reduced back to sugar again, and when it is made properly, the flavor and appearance of the genuine article is obtained.
