The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness

This receipt has never before been published, and we know that only six bottles of it have been made. OXIDE OF ZINC is sprinkled into chaps and fissures to promote their cure. YAOULTA.--Take 1 ounce of white starch, powdered and sifted, 1/2 a drachm of rose pink, 10 drops of essence of jasmine, and 2 drops of otto of roses. Mix and keep in a fine muslin bag. This exquisite powder is to be dusted over the face, and, being perfectly harmless, may be used as often as necessity requires. It also imparts a delicate rosy tinge to the skin preferable to rouge. CREME DE L'ENCLOS.--Take 4 ounces of milk, 1 ounce of lemon-juice, and 2 drachms of spirit of wine. Simmer over a slow fire, and then bring it to the boil, skim off the scum, and when cold apply it to the skin. It is much used by some persons to remove freckles and sun-burnings.
