Princesses Powder .

IT is with just Reason that this Powder has the Name of Princesses Powder , since four Princesses whose Beauty is so much talked of in Europe , are served with it , with so great Success , that by means of it , they have preserved their Skin , and their Beauty with an Air of Youth , till Seventy Years of Age . Madam de Montespan with whom the King of France has been so much in Love , very well knew , by this little Artifice , how to please that Prince , who has made her Beauty famous over all the habitable Earth ; though naturally Madam de Montespan has no fine nor delicate Skin , but by the means of this Powder , which she has used all her life ; she has preserved the fineness and Delicateness of her Skin so , that she does not appear above eighteen or twenty years of Age , though she be above fifty five .

But as Mr. Ranet Apothecary and Chymist at Paris is dead , and that he was the only man that knew the secret of Composing this Powder , he has left by writing to Peter Ranet his Son , the Secret to make the same . And as it is commonly known by experience , that this Powder produces extraordinary Effects , the said Mr. Ranet has been requested by several persons to send it into Foreign Countrys , and particularly hither into England , where the Climate is extreamly Harsh ; and this Powder must have extraordinary Effects , as it has already had to several persons that have had very ill looks , that have recovered Lustre and their Beauty , by means of this Powder . In a word , it has the Vertue to take away all Redness , all Pimples and Frecles , and generally all ill things that occur in the Face , making the Skin as fine , smooth , and Dilicate , as Sattin ; As you may experience , by putting upon your hand a little of that enclosed in the Pacquet ; though a little Quantity does not produce the same Effect as a reasonable Quantity . There will be put to all the Bills that shall be distributed , and to all the Pacquets of Powder that shall be sold , the Seal of him that made them ; To the end , to prevent the Cheats that may happen , by persons pretending in a little time to sell this Powder , and pretending to have found out this Secret of making it .

Any one that has a mind to have this Powder , may have it at ,
