Doctor Tells Cause
 and Cure of Wrinkles
(From Boston Transcript

Stop to consider what produces wrinkles and sagginess of skin," said Dr. Elizabeth Blinn at the Woman s club last evening. Premature aging, mal-nutrition, etc, cause the flesh to shrink, lose its youthful plumpness and firmness. The skin then is too large for the flesh underneath; doesn't fit tightly and snugly as it used to--it wrinkles or sags.
 Tt must be plain that to tighten the skin, make 1t fit the face perfectly in every place, will effectually re- move the hateful wrinkles and baggi- ness. This Is easily and harmlessly accomplished by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel and using the solution as face lotion. The ingredients you can get at any drug store. The re- suits are surprising. The skin imme- diately tightens up, becoming firm and fresh as in youth. Every wrinkle and sag Is affected at once"
