“Popular Remedies.”

—How much many of the illustrated advertisements of popular remedies may be depended upon is pointedly indicated in the following anecdote clipped from the New York Christian Advocate:—
A noted woman went to a photographer’s one day to sit for her portrait.
“I want you to print one or two photographs from the negative without retouching it,” she said. “But let the others be finished in your best style.”
“May I ask your reason for that?” he asked.
“To be sure,” she replied. “A manufacturer of cosmetics wants me to furnish him my ‘before using’ and ‘after using’ portraits for an illustrated advertisement in one of the magazines.”
