(From the Feminine World)

The quickest and surest way to make A good complexion out of bad one Is to actually remove the thin veil of faded or discolored outer skin from the face. This can be done easily, safely and privately by any woman. The process Is one of gentle absorp- ton.
 Get an ounce of pure mercolized wax from your druggist and apply 1t at night like cold cream, washing 1t off in the morning. Tn a few days the mercolide in the wax will have absorbed the disfiguring cuticle, re yealing the fresh young skin unt1er- heath; you will have beautiful, clear. natural complexion. The process is pleasant and harmless. making the face look brilliantly attractive and youthful It also effectually removes such bIemishes as freckles, tan, moth patches, liver spots, pimples, etc. Every woman should keep a little mercolized wax on hand, as this simple, old fash toned remedy Is the best complexion beautifier and preserver known.
