"I am an amateur romedian. The troupe, during last summer, gave some! thing like three shows a week, atd. it www necesary for each one to make up his face with grouso paints. About the beginning of Judy my fave began to get blotchy and became worse and worse, till at the end of a week the lower part was covered with reid pimples. I went to my docter, who gave me some blood mixture, which I took for about n'fort- night without effect. I then purchased some Cuticura Sap and Cuticura Oint- ment, and word that as directed. After a fortnight's usage the pinpha began to dry up after a mouth's treatment I was -able to brush them off with a soft towel, they having breemn bits of dried-up white skin.
