SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
Should Never Be Removed With
Poisonous, Pasty Compounds
Because They Are Dangerous
and Increase the Growth.

The preparations above referred to
are invariably in the form of creamy
pastes These are easily recognized
by their pale grayish-greenish color.
They are to be spread upon the skin
to remain until they are dry. These
contain Sulphide of Barium, an insol-
uble chemical. which cannot be dis
solved. therefore cannot be absorbed
by the skin. The very fact that you
are told to leave these pasty COM
pounds on the skin until they dry and
cake and then lift off with knife is
proof positive that they are not alb
sorbed. If they are. why do they still
remain on the skin: The most they
can possibly do is TO remove the sur
face hair. which in consequence will
reappear stronger and thicker after
each removal.
There IS only one logical and scien-
titic way to remove hair. and that is
by means OF liquid containing solu-
BILE ingredients which can be absorbed
by the skin DeMiracle known all
the world over as the only real super
huous hair remover, is just such a
preparation 1t is easily and quickly
absorbed. and after you have used it
you will note there is nothing left on
the skin. 1t leaves the skin free from
irritation. and what is more to the
point. it is absolutely non-poisonous,
therefore it will not produce eczema
or blood poisoning. Remember. no
matter what claims are made to the
contrary. no poisonous. pasty COM
pound or so-called liquid cure" ever
did or ever will destroy single hair
root, and we can prove 1t.
The extravagant claims recently
made by INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
vertisements unquestionably justify
physicians in cautioning the public
against the use of this class of depila-
tories. How many people have, been
enticed into using these dangerous
preparations with consequent injury
to themselves cannot be estimated.

Prices and Terms

Prices during this, as we'll as all
similar previous sales, are SUBJ
stantially-factory cost, with sell
ing expense added.
No profit is made, or do We ex-
rect profit during these sales. The
idea that prevails in the whole
house is to make "a clearance.
Just as the name of the sale indi-
cates-and prices are made that
will do this quickly and effectively.
In some instances even selling ex-
pense is eliminated. the instru-
ments being marked at bare fac
tory cost, or a very little above.
The terms during such sale are
naturally expected to be spot cash
or it's equivalent.
The inducement to buy is had in.
the low prices-not in easy terms.
