A good looking face

What is the secret of good looks ? Complexion---a clear, smooth,
 youthful complexion with health tints that fairly glow with life. You can have a good complexion. Your face, neck, arms and
 hands can be made delicious to look at. Use Hagan's Magnolia Balm and you'll look ten years younger immediately after ap- plying it. It is not cosmetic, neither is it greasy or sticky. It is liquid as harmless as dis tll1eo water. 7sc, at ali druggists. AoAAANAA~AAAAA
