 Good Tomorrow For This Worlds Most
 Famous Beauty Specialist
 An opportunity is now offered every reader of this paper to consult the worlds most famous beauty specialist Harriett Meta, of Paris, London and Syracuse, absolutely free.
 A little over three years ago there was nothing known which, in our judgment, would actually remove wrinkles, but at that time Mile. Meta made the import ant discovery which has since made her famous in two continents.
 She demonstrated the great power of her new process by taking her own wrinkles out with it in three nights, after face massage, masks, straps, steam ing pots, etc., had all failed, and today Mlle Meta's face is still free from wrinkles, her cheeks full and plump and her skin and complexion is delight to behold, In fact, by many she Is consid- cred the most beautiful woman in all Paris.
 Her remarkable discovery was brought before the judges of the Paris Interna- tional Exposition and the Rome Expo- sition Internationale for their investi- gation, and in both instances they quickly awarded her Gold Medals thereon. The French Government also honored her with patent on kher new process, and patents are now pending before the U. S. Government at Washington.
 London journals sent their Beauty Editresses to investigate her methods, and their high Inducements of her dis coveries made her famous almost over night so that she was eagerly sought after by French Countesses and English Ladies of high title and rank. The Beauty Editress of the London Onlooker wrote: An interview with Mile Meta left me persuaded that here at last might be found the secret to restore youth and beauty" M
