Hundreds of women have lately written to me, complaining of
their bad skin, and from time to time I have been able to advise
them, with good results. Among the best cures I have come
across recently is the Hygienic Skin Cream, made by Mr. M
F. Thompson (of Gordon Street, Glasgow) This, used in con-
junction with some special powders, has a wonderful effect on
pimples and blotches. Eruptions and irritation of the skin
generally disappear under its use, and being genuinely homoe
pathic, they are quite harmless. Thompson’s Hygienic Skin
Soap should be in daily use in the dressing-room to aid the above
cure. Mr. Thompson is a true friend to womenkind in general,
for he understands exactly what is needed, both for comfort and
the culture of beauty too. His preparations are so numerous that
it is impossible to speak of them all in a limited space ; but I
should advise everyone to send for his dainty little books on
beauty and the toilet, which he will send post free. For bad
corns, the New French Corn Plaster is invaluable ; neuralgia is
made to fly under the effects of Nervetonine ; and the Arsenical
Pearls for the complexion are well worth a trial. As for the
perfumes sold by this clever specialist, I am sorry I can only
mention the Coronation Bouquet. This is simply irresistible, and
all lovers of good and delicate scents should at once send 3s. 6d.
for a bottle. It would, by the way, make a delightful little
Christmas or Birthday gift.
Editor “ British Monthly ” says : — There are many
excellent preparations on the market of Mr. Thompson’s, the
best known being, perhaps, his Nervetonine, an excellent
tonic for all nervous affections, neuralgia, sleeplessness, indi
gestion, and other ailments. It is not unpleasant to take, and
the smallness of the dose (from five to ten drops in water) makes
it a most commendable tonic. Many grateful letters have been
received by Mr. Thompson from those who have derived benefit
from Nervetonine.

Cold fish. I Egg
Potatoes. I Butter.
Seasoning.✪ Fish Balls
Any remains of cold fish may be used for this dish. Free it
from bone and skin and use as much potato as you have fish,
with a little melted butter added, some beaten egg, salt, pepper,
and a little chopped parsley, or a teaspoonful of anchovy or other
sauce. Beat up thoroughly with a fork and with floured hands
roll in balls. Brush with egg, roll in breadcrumbs, and fry
in hot fat. Serve on a hot ashet and garnish with parsley.

CASSEROLE OF FISH.
8 or 9 potatoes. I A little white sauce
2 yolks and i white of egg. ^ oz. butter,
i fresh haddock I ^ oz. tasty cheese.
Salt and pepper.✪ Casserole of Fish
Boil the potatoes and mash them, add the yolks, butter, and the
cheese grated, also salt and plenty of pepper. Form a border
with this ; make it neat and smooth on a greased oven shelf, and
put into the oven to brown. When a little firm, brush over with
the white of egg to glaze it. Boil a fresh haddock, take away all
skin and bone, make a little good sauce with milk, add the flakes
of the fish. When the border is nicely browned, slip it on a flat
dish and fill the middle with the fish and sauce. This makes a
good children’s dinner.
