BEAUTY TIPS

Lack Of Vitamins Causes Brittle Nails

By CLAUD NORTH CHRISMAN. M. D. FINGERNAILS can be beauteous or unsightly, I heard so much about dirty fingernails when I was a boy, that cleaning them became almost as much of a nightmare as washing behind my cars. So many things can happen to a fingernail to mar its looks that I often wonder why we see so many beautiful ones.
