that enabled Ottmar MergenthaIer to

The idea for the machine was fur

'Gives ANY Woman
A New Skin"
Lillian LangIey in The LONDON Fash

Lillian Langley in The London Fash
ion- (Eng-)
within the last three months, I
have answered over 1000 letters,
from women asking one and the same
question:-'What shall 1 do for my
complexion and, although dislike to
write for publication, my knowledge
of toilet articles will put any woman's
mind at rest as to what she should
use.
After rs years of study in the
treatment of the face, neck and arms,
find that few women know how to
really improve their appearance. The
usual treatment of the beauty special
list is a dangerous thing, as it is too
harsh. 1t seems to have done good,
but Oh my! shortly hair starts to
grow, and such a lot of wrinkles, and
the skin soon becomes rough and red
and Is all dried up.
THE following simple home recipe
will practically give any woman a new
skin: Dissolve an original package of
Mayatone in 8 ounces of witch hazel
Massage the face, arms and neck with
this solution twice daily This will re-
move all shine from the skin, giving
it a natural, dainty color. 1t prevents
the growth of hair, and is absolutely
harmless even to a baby's skin All
sorts of facial blesmishes will soon dis
appear. and also the stray hairs"
