Peregrin Tugwood's Guide To Looking Great (and Feeling Fine)

Peregrin Tugwood was the great nephew of Sacharissa Tugwood, who pioneered cosmetic and beautifying potions in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While following his great aunt's approach to beauty, Peregrin was known to take a more holistic approach to the concept, also concentrating on muscle definition, stress-free demeanor, quick wit, and memory. Tugwood's Guide to Looking Great! (And Feeling Fine) was first published in 1965, but quickly had multiple re-printings. It appears here in its most recent publication from 1993, and includes any corrections or additions to the original recipes.

Maturation Notes:



The potion should mature for 36 hours before use.
The potion should mature in direct sunlight with a strong heat source.


To Store:



The potion should be stored in a dark place of
moderate room temperature. The potion can be stored for up to 2 weeks. However,
if the oil begins separating and rising to the top, it should be discarded.



To Use:



The adipocytic potion should only be prescribed
by an advanced Healer specializing in dietary potions. To use, 5 droplets of
the potion should be taken either directly on the tongue or in a high-citrus
juice. It tastes a bit like mango and musty chocolate on its own. It should only be taken once every five days, with weekly visits to
prescribing Healer.


Two days after the first dose, the user will
begin to lose weight. Side effects include bad cramping, muscle spasms,
increased heart rate, and difficulty breathing. Some experience hot flashes,
nausea, vomiting, and stomach ulcers. In rare cases, heart attack and stroke
have occurred.



Caution:



The potion should only be taken under close
watch of an experienced Healer. Improper use of the potion has led to
emaciation, nutrient deficiency, and in some cases starvation.
