Excerpt from The Fountain of Youth, or Personal Appearance and Personal Hygiene

Centuries ago so much time was spent in the search for the "Fountain of Youth, " for it was thought that the happy individual who discovered and bathed in it would have a renewal of youthful vigor and beauty beyond compare. The less poetical but more practical modern has found that by the use of reason and prosaic methods it is not necessary to wander up and down the face of the earth searching for some hidden spring, to preserve the looks and strength of the years of prime. A proper understanding of the means and a persistent use of them will win the reward. Women who are not naturally endowed with good looks that come from regular features can make themselves attractive in appearance by the employment of simple and healthful measures, which it is as much their duty to employ as to dress well.
