The Vaucaire Tome.
A CAREFUL READER I cannot
tell how long it will be before the ef
fects of the jVaucalre tonio will be
noticed, for all cases differ. The result,
however, depends entirely upon the
condition of the Individual taking the
medicine. Here la the formula: Liquid
extract of galega (goatsrue), three
fluid drams; lacto-phosphate of lime,
154 'grains; tincture of fennel, ten
grains; simple syrup, thirteen and
one-half ounces. The dose is two
aoupspoonfuls with water before each
meal. Dr. Vaucaire also advises the
drinking of malt extract during
meals.
Face Burns ;
i E. 1L Probably the reason yeur face
burns so much is tnat you' do not care
for it properly. If you find that soap
does not agree with your akin, in Its
tead use a good cleansing cream. It
Is not advisable to expose the face to
the air immediately after washing it,
for such exposure will make the skin
rough and cause it to burn. If you
bathe your face at bight with butter
milk it will relieve the burning sensa
tion. ie Too Larpe

Hollow Eyes '
MRS. T.-There Is alwayt, fn my
opinion, some Internal cause for the
black circles under the eyes. The tend,
ency is sometimes hereditary, but dark
lines are usually due to om conges

ever, found excepting under one or more
of the following circumstances:
When the subject ia anemic, and there
Is an impairment of the chemical con- .
Utution ot the blood, or when the ys
tem Is being drained, as It would be in .
prolonged study, lack of sleep or dissl

treatment is sometimes effective tem
porarily, but cannot be permanent while
the cause exists.
