Thousands have tried from time imme-
mortal 20 discover some cllicaci1us remedy
for wrinkles and other impcrfcctions of
the complexion, but mono had yet sue
cecded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
Gus Complexion Specialists. Of rs Fifth

The reason so many failed 20 make this

The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
n most cxhilarating effect upon tho cuticlc,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing 10 the surface Of the
skin. 1t is to the skin what a yitalzing
tonic is to the blood and nerves, n kind OF
new life that Immediately eXhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost Immediately. ard il
speedily banishes forever from the skin,
frcclkles, pimples, blackhcads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughneSs,
oiliness, eruptions, and dscolorations OF
any kind.
In order that all may be benefited 10y

Button is rich and proud. He comes of a
good old family and is a recognized society
leader of Detroit. He, with some of his
swell bachelor friends organized the Buck
ers and Kickers," of which he was made
grand high contortionist. The order had no
object but fun, yet it maintained a show of
mysticism and announced it's meetings in
way to arouse general curiosity.
Button went east for a rest and change.
His immediate family and friends did not
like his belonging to fraternity with such
a name and such doubtful aims. They saw
an opening and proceeded to get even. The
first day at New York hotel he received a
dozen letters, and on the envelope of each,
in big type, was his name and his title as
grand high contortionist, followed by the ad.
dress to which the letter was to be returned

others who were getting their mail could
not but see what was as plain as a hand bill.

Button fired hot letter home, bearing an
immediate delivery stamp. He informed the
folks that it was in the worst taste to send
private correspondence in a business en-
velope. He wanted no more of it. 1t had
cost him great annoyance and he was going
to change his hotel at once. But that grand
high contortionist" pursued him like an
avenger until he returned home, raked all
his relatives over the Goals, resigned from
the Buckers and Kickers and made bon.
