Yes, "the new Poor House that is so greatly needed!" Why didn't your scurvy Radical legislature pass the bill to enable the Poor Directors to build a new Poor House ? AN effort was made to get a bill pas sed by the late Legislature to enable the Poor Directors to sell the Poor House property and purchase another, or if they concluded not to sell, to erect a new building for the accommodation of the paupers. By some means or oth er this bill was defeated. This is all wrong, as a new Poor House is badly needed and must be erected soon. If such blundering has been going on in the management of the county af fairs, is it not high time the present in cumbents of that department be reliev ed from their duties, and men compe tentand willing to conduct the county affairs, placed in their stead.— lnquirer. Yes, by all means! Let us have the old Know Nothing Board of Poor Di rectors, Geo. D. Shuck and G. D. Trout, Esqs., re-elected. The "deficits and mistakes" in their time, though heavy, can be overlooked. And, also, let us have J. R. Durborrow for General Tax Collector for the county, He might fork over without being sued. The Savannah Republican says the "wildest days of St. Domingo" have been reproduced in Southern Georgia, by bad negroes. Murders and other atrocities are of constant occurrence. Yes, John Brown's soul is march ing on! The Gospel of Murder taught by the Abolition Saint when yet in the fle h is being practically fulfilled by his followers. Congress has bound the white people of the South hand and foot, and the "bad negroes" have a nice time ofitintheway of hanging women and cutting the throats of infants. Glorious, Christian Reconstruction! Wondrous perfection of civilization! Who can fail to admire the wisdom, the patriotism, the humanity of Con gress ? IIOX. F. M. KIMMELL. We see that the Patriot aud Union and a number of other Democratic pa pers, suggest the name of Judge Kim siell in connection with the nomina tion for Judge of the Supreme Court. The Democracy of Bedford county, de light in honoring Judge Kimmell and would hail his nomination with joy. But we understand that the Judge will not permit his name to be used in con nection with the nomination. It will be seen that the Democratic meeting on Monday night, requested the dele gate from this county to vote for HON. GEORGE SHARSWOOD, of Philadelphia. We most heartily approve the action of the meeting. The Savannah Republican reports that the condition of things in Camden and Bryan counties, Georgia, is truly alarming. In one county two negroes sentenced to death for murder and three others to the penitentiary for other offences were rescued from the jail in which they were confined by a mob of negroes and made their escape. In another county men were found hanging to the trees within a short dis tance of the public roads, and had been hanging there for several days. Such is the practical effect of the workings of the iniquitous Military Reconstruction Bill passed by the late Congress. What christian man, what lover of law and order, what decent civilized human being, can approve ol such a state of affairs? The heart shrinks with horror as we contemplate these scenes of violence and blood. Let it be remembered that upon every man who votes and uses his influence to sustain the late Congress, rests the responsibili ty for the innocent lives lost under the lawless rule to which the people of the South are at present subjected. Look well to your ballots, ye men of the North ! There is blood upon some of them,—innocent blood! Vote to ap prove the measures of Congress, and you vote to endorse the black cut throats of Georgia. Vote to sustain Stevens and his followers, and you vote ropes and daggers into the hands of ne gro outlaws to hang and butcher your fellow men. Think of it, ye thought less ! Reflect upon the horrible crimes you endorse, and contemplate the hell on earth, which is being made of the blighted South. Stop, for a moment, and think of these things. If you will but think, you will never, never, cast a ballot stained with the blood of mur dered women and children and black ened by the infamy of a lawless, God less and hell-born Military Despotism. BEECHER OX RADICALISM. The following objurgation upon the misdeeds of his party, is from the lips of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher : "Themenat Washington and Albany sold their country ; they sold their hu manity and their honor, and the trusts that were put upon them by their con stituents. They were debauekers of the young; they were the traitors; they that lifted the sword were not half so much traitors; they that despoiled the old banner and trod it under foot; they that fired upon the government of the United States were not so much traitors as were those vermin who were crawling under the foundations and destroying by corruption the vital power of the government." When Mr. Beecher "went back up on" the Conservatives, last fall, the Radicals took great delight in twitting the Democrats as to the defection of the reverend gentleman. What have they to say, now, in regard to his posi tion? What do they think of the testimony of this "great man" touch ing the treason of their own represen tatives in Congress? We would espec ially call the attention of the Bedford Inquirer to this latest political sermon of "the eminent divine." Do you re member, O ye fe'lows around the corn er, how you wanted to know, last fall, whether we had seen Beechcr's last let ter? Now, we have our revenge upon you. Have you seen Beecher's latest, and if so, will you publish it? WHERE THE Cill'VrY DEBT CAME FROM. Lot the Responsibility Rest Where It Be'oiigs. The quidnuncs of the Inquirer are seized with periodical spasms at the thought that the clique to which they belong cannot get into their clutches the management of the finances of this county. Their palms itch most intol erably for the handling of the people's taxes and the very idea of the Demo crats controlling the affairs of the coun ty, operates upon them, at times, like an attack of hydrophobia. Then it is that they fume and fret about the "county's indebtedness" and subjects of a kindred nature. As we under stand the pathology of their disease pretty thoroughly, we hardly ever fail in trying to check it. Just now they appear to be threatened with a rather violent seizure, but their friends need not be alarmed, as we have a few pills which we will administer in due time, the effect of which will be most charm ing. Nay, we will take the disease in its incipiency and give them a dose at once. So, here goes, and let us have no wry faces! Whence came our county debt? That's the question. Let us take the records and trace it to its source. We find that in the years 1854 and 1855 the County Commissioners assessed $1009,29 less State Tax than the quota of the County fixed by the Board of Reve nue Commissioners. We find, too, that during those two years, the amount of the State Tax assessed in Bedford Coun ty was $14,164,12, and that of this sum only $9,457.41 was paid into the State Treasury during those years, leaving a deficit of $4706,71. Add to the last sum $1009.29, not assessed, and there will be found, at the close of the year 1855, the sum of $5716.00 due the State. Xow, let it be observed that this deficit oc citrred when the opposition to the Demo cratic party had control of the Commis sioners' office, Wm. Whetstone and D. C. Long being Commissioners, and A. S. Russell, Clerk. In 1856 the Democrats obtained a majority in the Board of Commissioners and they found the county burthened with this debt to the State. The opposition had left them this legacy of a debt of $5716.00 and what was worse, there was $1,009.29 of that debt which could not, for a long time, be accounted for, as no one but the Oppo sition Commissioners themselves knew of the trick by which that amount of the State Tax was repudiated. Hence a dispute arose between the County Commissioners and the State authori ties, as to the amount of tax really due the State, a dispute which remained unsettled for years. Now, let us com pute the compound interest on the above sum of $5,716,00 from January 1, 1856, till January 1,1867 (for, be it remembered, that the State com pounds interest annually on all taxes unpaid, that is, it adds the interest for the first year to the principal, and then charges interest on the whole sum,and so on from one year to another). It will be found that at the rate of inter est charged by the State, the above sum of $5,716,00 had increased to near ly $12,000 on the first of January last! Now, it was this terrible incubus which the opposition County Commis sioners of 1854 and 1855 fixed upon the County that the Democrats were called upon to shake off. Besides, when the Democrats came into power they found the County owing private individuals for borrowed money, which indebted ness they were also compelled to can cel. But in spite of all the untoward circumstances by which they were sur rounded, in spite of the hard times be fore the war and the heavy bounty tax during the war, the Democratic County Commissioners have paid off the County" 1 s indebtedness to the State, and in the course of another year will pay off ev ery debt the County owes. It is true that in order to do this, they have been compelled to be a little rigid with Col lectors. and found it even necessary to sue J. R. Durborrow, Collector for Mid dle Woodberry tp. But they were de termined to rid the County of debt, and, therefore, could not stop to consult the convenience of individuals. All we ask, now, is that the responsibility for the County's late indebtedness to the State, be placed where it belongs, at the doors of the Opposition Commis sioners of 1854 and 1855, and that the credit of paying off that indebtedness be given to the people who paid the taxes and the Commissioners who ap plied those taxes to the proper pur pose. '•WHERE THE TAXES HAVE GONE." The Ex-Tax Collector for Middle Wood berry "fills his Foot in it** Ajptiii ! The Bedford Inquirer , of last week, contains an article under the caption of "Where the Taxes Have Gone," in which occurs the following language: "Compelled at last to investigate the matter or have others investigate it, two or three of the party magnates, with the officials of the Poor House establishment, set themselves to work last week, and after a couple days ar duous labor, succeeded in discovering deficits and mistakes to the amount of about Ten Thousand Dollars The above is false in several particu lars. 1. There was no compulsory 11-in vestigation." A settlement was had between the Poor Directors and Mr. Blymyer, late Treasurer of the Poor House, to which both parties assented. Nobody acted in thecapacity of a "par ty magnate," but Mr. Blymyer had his attorney and the Poor Directors had theirs. The settlement covered the whole of Mr. Blymyer's time as Treas urer, (which commenced in 1856) and was made in the most thorough and careful manner. 2. Mr. Blymyer's in debtedness to the county,as'ascertained by this settlement, does not amount to Ten Thousand Dollars, as stated by the Inquirer. The sum which Mr. Bly myer owes the county is $7,000, just $;3,000 less than the Inquirer's figures. So much for this subject. The Inquirer asks: "Will not the keepers of the Democ racy in this county give us an explana tion of the amount and character of the discoveries they have made in the Poor House establishment?" We are not "the keepers of the De mocracy," nor of any other party, but we will answer this question to the hearts' content of the demagogues who propound it. The "amount" of "the discoveries" (ye gods! what English !) is gis-en above; the character of the same will appear from the following: Mr. Blymyer, in his annual statements to the County Auditors, received from Collectors, made numerous mistakes in tfie amounts with which he charged himself. (It must* be borne in mind that this settlement extended through ten years and that the interest upon the sums with which Mr. Blymyer failed to charge himself, is very heavy.)— These mistakes were all carefully cor rected and Mr. Blymyer cheerfully ac quiesced in the correction. When the amount due from the latter to the coun ty, was ascertained, he at once gave ample security for its speedy payment, and the whole matter was settled satis factorily to both Mr. Biymyer and the Poor Directors. The Inquirer seeks to make capital out of the errors committed by Mr. Blymyer. It dares not say that those errors were wilfully or dishonestly made, for its editors know as every body in this community knows, that Mr. Blymyer Is a man of undoubted in tegrity. But it seeks to bring odium upon the- Democrats, by laying the re sponsibility for these errors at their doors. Now, what are the facts con nected with Mr. Blymyer's appoint ment as Treasurer to the Poor House? Who gave him that office? Why, Mr. GEORGE D. SHUCK, of Bedford bor ough, and Mr. GIDEON 1). TROUT, of St. Clair township. These two gen tlemen formed the majority in the Board of Poor Directors in 1856, when Mr. Blymyer was appointed, and it was during the three years of Mr. Shack's term that a large proportion of those errors occurred. In fact it is, in a great measure, the interest upon the deficits in Mr. Blymyer's account du ring those three years, that swells his indebtedness to the county to so heavy a sum. Now, we say nothing about the integrity or capacity of Messrs. Shuck and Trout, but as the Inquirer is so anxious to place the responsibility for Mr. Blymyer's mistakes upon the Democrats, we have thought it well enough to remind its editors that two prominent gentlemen in their own par ty are about as deep in the mud as any body else is in the mire. The fact is, that the poor, miserable demagogues of the Inquirer , have, as usual, "put their foot in it." They dare not say that the county has lost a single cent by Mr. Blymyer. They know him to be an honest, upright man, that his mistakes were not of a wilful or fraudulent character, and that he will repay the county every nickel he owes it. And what is more, they know now, that for those mistakes the Poor Directors of their own choice are just as responsible as those elected by the Democrats, and that to the Demo crats belongs the credit of ferreting out the blunders committed as well during the Republican administration of SHUCK and TROUT, as during the terms of their successors. All the capital the Ex-Tax Collector of Middle Woodberry will be able to squeeze out of this sub ject, he can stow away, without dis comfort, in the corner of his eye. GKAXD DEMOCRATIC Jl' 151 LEE ! Celebration of the Victory in Connecti cut ! Speeche*. Resolutions, and Great Enthn siasm! The Democrats and Conservatives of Bedford county, assembled at the Court House, on Monday night last, for the purpose of celebrating the great tri umph of Constitutional principles in Connecticut. The Court House was well filled and the best feeling prevail ed. The Democratic Brass Band, un der the leadership of L. Defibaugh and Prof. Hettiey, enlivened the occasion with a number of beautiful and spirit stirring airs. On motion of .T. W. Dick erson, Esq., Chairman of the Demo cratic County Committee, DANIEL FLETCHER, ESQ., of Monroe tp., was appointed President of the meet ing. H. W. Fisher, Esq., then moved the appointment of the following Vice Presidents, which was unanimously agreed to, viz., M. Reed, Esq., Geo. W. Diehl, J. B. Fluke, Esq., Thos. Fisher, J. T. Gephart, Leven Shipley, George Vonstine, Simon Brumbaugh, David Imler, James Sill, John D. Lu cas, John H. Keyser, Peter Koons, Jos. W. Elder, John Filler, Adolphus Ake, Jacob Walter, Esq., Chas. Fax on, Esq., and Isaac Kensinger. On motion the following Secretaries were appointed: R. M. Berkstresser, Capt. S. B. Tate, Lewis Saupp, John Wills, and Jonathan Brightbill. On motion the meeting was then ad dressed by B. F. MEYERS, of the GA ZETTE, in a speech congratulating the Democracy upon the victory of their brethren In Connecticut and exposing the fearful tendency of the doctrines and legislation of the Radical men in Congress. O. E. SHANNON, Esq., was then called out and in a speech of much vigor and eloquence, entertained the crowd until a late hour. The speak ers were frequently interrupted with bursts of applause. W. C. SCHAFER, Esq., then offered the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted, after which the meeting adjourned with three cheers for redeemed Connecticut and the Na tional Union Democracy: Resolved, by the Democracy of Bed ford cou n ty, i n Mass Meet ing assem bl ed, that we send greeting to the Democrats of Connecticut, hailing, as we do, the result of the late election for Governor and Members ofCongress, in that State, as the dawn of a better day, the bright breaking of the morn which will soon give place to the glorious effulgence of the noonday of restored liberty and a country rescued from a long night of misrule and tyranny. Resolved, That it is meet that Radi cal Fanaticism should find its first re buke in New England, the land of its birth-place, and that as the Destroying Fiend passed from the extreme North to the South, so we hope that the An gel of Peace will lollow in the track of desolation, re-building the waste places and making glad the hearts of the peo ple. Resolved, That the example of our brothers in Connecticut, inspires us with renewed hope and courage, and teaches us that it is only necessary to cling to the Right, with faith in the cause, in order that the Wrong may, in the end, be overturned. The Democ racy of Connecticut have survived fif teen years of uninterrupted defeat, and haveat last triumphed over the enemy who has met them on so many fieldsof battle. Let us "trust in God, and keep our powder dry," and all will yet be well. Resolved, That the large Democratic gains in the Spring elections through out the North and the admission of the Radicals, that the Negro vote is neces sary to insure their success, are incon trovertible proofs that a large majority of the white people of the Union, are opposed to the party which now rules in Congress and throughout the North ern States. Resolved, That we protest against the exclusion of Ten Sovereign States from the Union, against the striking of Ten Stars from the flag of our Country, against the formation of a satrapy of one half of the Republic, and in the name of those who perished to savethe Constitution, we announce our unqual ified and unalterable opposition to the destruction of that sacred instrument, whether by armed revolution, or by the passage of unconstitutional enactments by Congress. Resolved, That the Delegate to the Democratic State Convention from this county, is hereby requested to vote for the Hon. George Sharswood, of Phila delphia, for the nomination for Judge of the Supreme Court, and to use all honorable means to secure his nomina tion. —The Washington Leader— negro Radical —has closed up. Another of a similar stripe—the Enfranchised Citizen —is about to be born. THE LATE LEGISLATERE. Radical Opinions of the Same. "Another Such a Legislature Will Sink us." The Saving: Grace of the Church Xoc<lcd I The Radical press teems with de nunciations of the late Legislature. The members are denounced by the very papers which urged their election, as having been corrupt and venal be yond parallel. Yet, we doubt not, these same papers will urge the re-elec tion of the very men whom they de nounce. Weput the testimony of these papers before the public and ask that it be carefully conned and preserved for use during the coming campaign. For the present, the evidence is as fol lows : From the Delaware Republican. Among the items in the State Ap propriation bill, passed by the last Leg islature, are six hundred dollars, paid the clergy for prayers for the members. If ever a body of men needed the sav ing grace of the Church, it was those assembled in the late State Council at Harrisburg. They ought to be ashamed of their meanness in this particular, compared with their liberality in other expenditures. All the presents ofsilver sets, gold watches, clocks, gold headed canes, and other costly articles, will not save them from the wrath to come. From the Franklin Repository. All hail, Pennsylvania! Day has broken in on the starless midnight that has encircled our venerable Common wealth. The people can breathe again. The Legislature of 1867 is no more. It has fought its last tight—it has won its last stake— it has brought gladness to over three million hearts by its ad journment. The gallant roosters have closed their legislative auction, and gone home with heavy hearts to settle their accounts with the people who in an evil hour entrusted tnem with brief authority. They have passed sixteen hundred laws, "pinched" others by the score and finally, after over three months of legislative rioting, rotating, pinching, plundering and pocketing, their time has come, and they go out, as a rule, to return no more forever. Public bills were not considered. A few, perhaps a dozen in all, unimportant in their character, were passed, but 1600 private bills have been added to our statutes, and the hugest of volumes will be added to our pamphlet laws. Just what has passed nobody knows, and none pretend to know. Governor Geary has had hundreds of bills to dispose of during the last hours of the session, and how many of them had snug little serpents, hissing vipers, or regular anacondas, coiled up in them, he will learn only when their fangs sink into some luckless victim and he prays for relief. The Senate has gradually degenerated until it rises but littleabove the House in point of the dignity of legislation. On Tuesday a large calen dar of private bills was to be disposed of, and the first legislative tribunal of the State sat for hours passing bills by their titles, no one knowing what the body ofthe bills contained. True, they had passed committees, but who knew what had been interpolated by a stray word or line? or who knew what hid den serpents wriggled in them under thecolor of fairness ? Theresat Bigham and Ridgway in front of the Clerk to hear the titles read, and as fast as pro nounced by the Clerk they weredeclared passed. Occasionally someobstreperous Senator would interpose an objection, but he would be bawled down by a score of voices, saying—"let it go—it's all right—don't stop the machine !"and, lest his little bill might fall a victim to the retribution of some defeated associ ates, he would quiet down and the farce would go on. Thus were hundreds of bills passed in the Pennsylvania Senate, and they now stand upon our records as solemnly enacted laws. In the House it was the same, only a little more so. Instead of reading bills by their title, they read and passed many of them merely by their numbers. Neither title or body of the bills were read. Colonel Quay at one time jocu larly suggested that they had better pass the calendar of bills by the page, but it was deemed necessary to read the numbers, and thus they were rushed through. Of course in such a whirlwind of legislation the roosters had a good time, but often it would be discovered that there had not been a fair understanding or a fair divide; that some rooster sharper than his fellows, had snaked a "good thing" through without giving the rest a show. Im mediately upon the discovery of such a mistake, a motion would be made to reconsider, and as such a motion was always a notice to all the roosters that there was something wrong, it always carried. A hasty consultation would follow—a little knot of first-class dealers would bob their heads togather in a corner, the objectionable bill would appear all right and go kiting through again. Thus rushed legislation for davs, and especially the last few days ofthe session, until theenormous nuni berofsixteen hundred bills were passed, and nearly all of them have been ap proved. From tho Somerset Herald and Whig —The act of adjournment, appears to have given more satisfaction to the people of the State, than any other act of the Legislature of 18G7. —Bad as has been the character of our Legislature for years, it seems to be generally con ceded that the body just adjourned, was even more untrustworthy than any of its predecessors. Individual promises and party pledges were set at naught, and public sentiment defied and derided. From the Bedford Inquirer. The Legislature of this State adjourn ed on the 11th inst., after having pass ed bills enough to make a volume half as large as Webster's Unabridged Dic tionary. All the Christian people in the State should join in thanks to the Throne of Grace that it did no more harm than it did. Another such a Legislature would sink us. If the Re publican party returns, within the next ten years, the same amount of corruption and verality to a single Leg islature it deserves eternal defeat. —The Tribune's special says: Attorney General Stanberry is said to have re cently remarked to the District Attor ney of Virginia that Jeff Davis must be disposed of during the coming term of the Circuit Court of the United States, which meets at Richmond on the first Monday in May. —A number of negroes have been ap pointed registers in the Southern States by the military satraps. Of course, therefore, the registration of voters will be eminently fair to charcoal. —Richard Perry has been appointed flour inspector for Western Pennsyl vania, vice Capt. W. B. Coulter, de ceased. XEWS ITEMS —The New York Herald states, on what purports to be the authority of a gentleman who left the City of Mexico on the Bth instant, that Maximilian, accompanied by about three thousand troops, was at that time en route from Queretaro for the City of Mexico. He was wounded in the right arm by a spent ball in the fight at Queretaro and narrowly escaped capture in one of the mountain passes. The reported cap ture of Puebla by Porfirio Diaz was dis credited at Vera Cruz. It was regarded by the Imperialists as a mere ruse on the part of the Liberals besieging that place. —The trial of Major General Wool, at the of suit V. D. Evans and Thomas Rich, for damages for arrest and im prisonment in Fort Delaware during the war, was comra enced in the United States District Court in Baltimore, Tuesday. Judge Giles overruled the prayer of the counsel for General Wool, to be exempt from trial under the military law and martial law. He said it was but just for the accused to show before the proper tribunal good and sufficient reasons why he caused the arrest and imprisonment of private citizens. It goes to a jury, and will consume some days. —At Junction City, Kansas, on the Bth inst., a man named William Moore, while seated at the breakfast table with his wife and children, drew a revolver and shot his wife dead. An attempt was made by "his neighbors to arrest him, but his threatening demonstrations pre vented it. In about two hours after shooting his wife he obtained a pillow laid his wife's head upon it, laid down on the floor beside her, deliberately shot himself through the head with the revolver, and died in a few minutes. Moore had for several years threatened to enact this terible tragedy. —A great freshet is reported in lowa, owing to the thawing of heavy snow. Three bridges have been carried away on the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad—one across the Raccoon, at New Jefferson; and two others between that and Des Moines. At Des Moines, ° large number of houses are submerg ed, and but for the interference of a levee made last year the entire city on the east side of the Des Moines river would be under water. —Since the revolution in Hayti, which resulted in the flight of Geffrard, no President has been selected. The quarrel appears to be between the mu lattoes and blacks. The full blooded negroes demand a full-blooded negro President and have agreed to recall Soulouque, the former Emperor. He was to leave Jamaica for Port au Prince on the 21st instant. —Some three thousand negroes were present at a Radical meeting at Mobile last week. Inflammatory speeches were made by both black and white speakers. Most of the negroes present were armed, and a great number of shots were fired in the air after adjourn ment —Further investigation concerning the coin and bullion captured on the downfall of the confederacy, shows conclusively that it belonged to the rebel government, notwithstanding it was claimed by the Richmond and New Orleans banks. —Virginia papers announce the death of G. Paul Scherer, of Staunton, a member of the Stonewall Brigade, who served through the war, and who received one of the prizes conferred upon the five most gallant soldiers in that brigade. —Forty miles of the Pacific Railroad are said to be under water. The bridg es over the North Platte and the South Fork are so badly damaged by the over flow as to be unsafe for crossing. —Rev. F. A. Muhlenberg,a professor in Pennsylvania College, atGettysburg, has resigned, to take charge of the Al lentown Collegiate Institute, in August next. —The stakes won by Tommy Chan dler in his fight with Dooney Harris at San Francisco, on Saturday last, amounting to SIO,OOO, were paid to him this week. —Nathaniel Goodrich and Charles Parsons, of Rocky Hill, are in the Hart ford (Conn.) jail, charged with a series of barn burnings extending over a period of five years. It is estimated that they have distroyed over $30,000 worth of property. —There are every year in Russia 380 horse fairs held in 192 localities. The average number of those animals offered there for sale every year is calcuated at 263,000. —An order has just been received by the publishers, from California,for five hundred copies of "Partisan Life with Mosby," by Major John Scott, of Vir ginia. —A full vote of Maryland is in favor of the State Constitutional Convention by ten thousand majority.

Upon inquiry as to the cause of so great a change, she plainly told them that she used the CIRCASSIAN BALM, and con sidered it an invaluable acquisition to any Lady's toilet. By its use any Lady or Gentleman can im prove their personal appearance an hundred fold. It is simple in its combination, as Nature herself is simple, yet unsurpassed in its efficacy in draw ing impurities from, also healing, cleansing and beautifying the skin and complexion. By its di rect action on the cuticle it draws from it all its impurities, kindly healing the same, and leaving the surface as Nature intended it should be, clear, soft, smooth and beautiful.
