GODFREY'S EXTRACT of ELDER FLOWERS 

 is strongly recommended for softening, beautifying, and 

 preserving the skin, and giving it a blooming and charming 

 appearance, being at once a fragrant Perfume and delightful 

 Cosmetic. It completely removes tan, sun-burn, redness, &c, 

 and by its balsamic and healing qualities renders the skin soft, 

 and free from dryness, scurf, &c. ; clears it from every humour, 

 pimple, or eruption; and by continuing its use only a short time 

 the skin becomes and continues soft and smooth, and the com- 

 plexion clear and beautiful. In the process of shaving it is 

 invaluable, as it annihilates every pimple and all roughness, and 

 affords great comfort if applied to the face during cold easterly 

 winds. — Sold in Bottles, price 25. 9d., with directions for using it,
