By the ample application of this fluid, might and morning, it will remove the most rancorous and alarming scurvy in the face. It is perfectly safe, yet powerful, and possesses all the good qualities of the most celebrated cosmetics, without any of their doubtful affects. It is therefore recommended as a certain and efficacious remedy, and a valuable and almost indispensable appendage to the toilet, infinitely superior to the common tra[s]h — Cream drawn from Violets and Milk of Roses! Suffice it however to say, it has been administered to many thousands in the United States and West Indies, with the greatest and most unparalleled success, and without even a single complaint of its efficacy.
