Guaranteed to Do the Work.

Letters are constantly being receiv-

Cream from prominent ladies, saying
hat they have at last discovered how
to remove freckles.
Just because you happen to have
freckles is no reason why you should
always have them

Switzerland, saying: "If after giving
Wilson's Freckle Cream a fair trial it
does not cure your skin, there is no
remedy for you. l always took the
best care of my skin, but freckled
dreadfully and could get no remedy
until found Wilson's Freckle Cream"
One jar of Wilson's Freckle Cream
will cause your freckles to perceptibly
fade, and the second jar will entirely
= emoVe them.
The druggist is instructed to return
your money to you if it doesn't do
just what we claim for it.
Try a jar today. You'll be delight
ed with it's fine effect on your skin. If
your druggist cannot supply you, send
so cents to the Wilson Freckle Cream
Company, Charleston, S. c., and they
Will send you full size jar.
