PLAN No. 507. SOLD PREPARATION TO PREVENT OR REMOVE SUNBURN
Reading edition
An eastern woman, who was particularly susceptible to sunburn, prepared the following, which proved both a preventive and a cure:
Orange flower water, 2 ounces; rosewater, 2 ounces; tincture of benzoin, 1⁄2 ounce; borax, 11⁄4 drams.
By applying this before going out, it prevented the skin from becoming sunburned, while in those cases where the mischief had already been done, she bathed her face with it several times a day, until the sunburn was removed.
This was so easy and inexpensive to make, and met with such a ready sale, that she found it extremely profitable to put it up in large quantities. Every lady who tried it gladly recommended it to her friends, and soon the drug stores were calling for all she could put up. A little advertising greatly increased the sales, and she is today enjoying a good income from it.
