(The New York Evening World.) Skin Bleaching. HERE is a vast difference between a tanned or sun-burned skin and one which ts muddy and yellow from disordered system or lazy liver. Each must be treated in an entirely different manner, one locally and the other internally. It is not possible to remove freckles and a deep’ coat of tan without removing the outer surface of the skin, and skin peel- ing 1s the only method which will take off this outer layer or surface skin. * OMA. Skin peeling may be gentle or otherwise, and the oe mild or home treatments are always to be recom- mended in preference to quicker end more strenuous ones, which reddea + mecessiry for the patient to retire from public view for nearly @ month. | ‘This latter treatment gives a thorough new skin, and when applied to | face, neck and withered hands, really leaves~ marvellous results which last about a year, when the process has to be repeated. The deep skin peeling, which ‘is done with powerful and dangerous drugs, should only ve done by @ professional, and to attempt to put carbolic acid, biehloride of mercury und other powerful skin peelors on the skin is a very foolish, as Well as dangerous practice, Eaua! parts of glycerine and lemon juice mako aa effective and abso- ‘ately harialess bleach for freckles and tan, and when it is found to irritate the skin and cause redness, it is best to use it only every other day until desired results are attained. Leave this preparation on the skin whenever convenient, and when removing {t, use warm water with a few drops of tiicture of benzoin, added to further ald the bleaching and whit- ening. A mixture of a tablespoonful salt and the same of fresh milk made into a paste and spread over freckles will remove them, if the treatment is followed persistently. Apply the paste to clean skin and then, when the molature trum the milk has been absorbed and the salt is dry, remove the excess with warm water and rub a little buttermilk over the frecklos with a puff of cotton, If the skin burns and appears red after this treatment, do not repeat it until the skin is normal again. 6, Harvard University was founded guard and NDER thjs heading The @vening |v nder co, tant surveillance, fn thia, column Saturday: brated British statesman, ANSWERS TO SATURDAY'S KWiZ, NEW QUESTIONS, 1 ‘ho familiar expression is “pure! 1 wras were “trade” dollure? ap a lly.” 2.
