Hints for the Ladies.



Let the ladies observe the following rules: In the morning, use pure water as a preparatory ablution; after which, they must abstain from all sudden gusts of passion, particularly envy, as that gives the skin a sallow paleness.
     It may seem trifling to speak of temperance, yet this must be attended to, both in eating and drinking, if they would avoid pimples...
