SOFT, VELVETY SKIN
FOR EVERY WOMAN

The continued use of face powders
Is responsible for pimples, blackheads'
coarse, rough skins and sallow com
plexions," says Mrs. Mae Martyr,
writing for the Denver Advocate, .and
SO aggravates the unnatural condition
that wrinkles are inevitable.
by the application of plain spur
max lotion, it is an easy matter TO
rid the'shin of all re-obstructiohs
and give to it a softness and velVety
texture impossible any other way. rms
lotion is splendid for dispelling DILL
ness. wrinkles and restoring the
healthy tint of youth to the cheeks.
Once it is tried, powder and rouge
will be forever discarded. This lotion
is made by putting two teaspoonfuis
glyoerine in h pint hot water, then
adding ounces spurmax. Where
witch hazel is used instead of water,
lit dries quicker"

was only one way to prove whether our
statement was correct or not, and that
was by her staying with us THREE
DAYS, or possibly -FOUR DAYS, and II
she was not satisfied then that she had
been relieved of all craving, and desire

Yours sincerely,
MRS.
Last week on one of her frequent and
friendly calls at the Institute she said to
the Manager. "If people in Maine who
need treatment for the DRINK HABIT
and are skeptical, would only investigate
as did, they would have no hestancy in
taking the NEAL TREATMENT. l was
skeptical even on the second day as ]
mad taken so many treatments that | had
lost all faith in any of them, but on the
morning of the THIRD DAY all doubt
disappeared"
Why not do as this woman did-eall at
the Institute and investigate, whether
you need the treatment for Yourself or q
friend. The Doctor or Manager will be
glad TO talk to you and explain about the
treatment and you can talk with abso-
lutte confidence that it will not be re-
peated to anyone.
A Wife, Husband or other relative may
remain with the patient during the entire
treatment, at slight additional cost but
it is not necessary, as each patient has
a private room where all meals and
medicines are served, with physician and
nurses in constant attendance. Arrange
ments can be made for home treatment
of alcoholism for those that cannot come
to the institute. There is no home treat
ment for drug addiction.

principal cities of the United States
