DescriptionA leaflet advertising the Eglantina Co. printed on pink paper.

It reads in part, "Eglantina is a perfectly harmless liquid with the delicate odor of the briar-rose, and it can be applied by the most unskilled so as to produce results most artistic and undetectable. / It is not easily affected by perspiration and yet it can be readily removed if too much has been applied. It does not fill the pores of the skin, but on the contrary, is a stimulus to the healthful action of the tissues and pores. Its qualities are very lasting, and as a few drops only are required for an application, it will prove the most economical fact tint procurable."
