To Remove Freckles

Take one ounce Venice soap, one-half ounce lemonjuice, one-quarter ounce oil bitter almonds, one-quarter ounce deliquated oil of denquate tartar, three drops oil of rhodium. Dissolve the soap in lemon-juice, and add the two oils. Place in the sun until it becomes an ointment. Then add the rhodium. Anoint at night with this ointment, then wash in the morning with pure water, or mixture of elder-blows and rosewater.-H. B., Zanesville, Wis.
