A Skin of Beauty is a Joy Forever
DR. T. FELIX GOURAUD'S

ORIENTAL CREAM, OR MAGIGAL BEAUTIFIER

Removes Tan, Fimpies, Freckles, Moth Patches, Rash and Skin diseases, and every blemish on beauty and defies detection. On its virtues it has stood the test of 58 years; no other has, and it is so harmless we taste it to be sure it is properly made. Accept no counterfeit of similar name. The distinguished Dr. L. A. Sayre said to a lady of the haut ton (a patient): "As you ladies will use them, I recommend 'Gouraud's Cream' as the least harmful of all the Skin preparations." One bottle will last six months, using it every day. GOURAUD'S POUDRE SUBTILE removes superfluous hair without injury to the skin.

Yield last season twenty-five to thirty cents (coarse gold) per cubic yard. Three-fourths mile ditch and flume, affording water during rainy season only. An additional supply sufficient to work mine nine months yearly, and covering two miles of unclaimed ground, can be secured by an outlay of five thousand dollars to eight thousand dollars.

This does not apply to those having but a single postage stamp to invest.
