How to Remove A
Bad Complexion
(From London Fashions)

Cosmetics can never really help a
poor complexion; often they are posi-
lively harmful, The sensible, rational
way is to actually remove the thin
veil of Sitting. half-dead scarf skin
from the face and give the fresh, Wig
orous and beautiful young skin I'M
derneath a chance to show itself and
to breathe.
This is best done in very simple
way, by merely applying mercolized
wax at night, like cold cream, and
washing it off in the morning. Good
mercolized wax can be obtained from
any we'll stocked druggist. 1t absorbs
the disfiguring cuticie gradually and
harmlessly, leaving a brilliant natural
complexion. OF course this also takes
with 1T all such facial blemishes as
red blotches tan. moth patches, sal
lowness. liver spots. pimples, etc. AS

remedy is unequalled.
