simple mixture OF saxolite and witch
hazel has remarkable action upon the
deepest wrinkles, no matter what their
nature, whether caused by worry, habitual
frowning, a dcbilitated condition or the
ravages OF Father Time. This harmless
remedy, which any one can easily make
and use at home, acts both as an astrin-
gent and a tonic. The combined effect of
tightening the skin and heightening it's
vitality is to Immediately affect every line

and firm as in youth.
The proportions are one ounce saxolite
