chemists long have sought some method
Of removing wrinkles that would not only
be really effective, but that would not

tonic lotion which seems to meet these

mixing the two BY bathing the face in
this liquid the skin Immediately becomes

and obliteratc the wrinkles, as we'll as to
draw in hanging skin about the cheeks,
chin or neck. Enlarged pores are reduced
the skin looks more refined and the face
more youthful. The lotion is wonder
