Peeling the Face


Women are beginning to realize how
dangerous and nov unnecessary is the
painful and expensive surgical opera
ton known as "face-peeling." Many
clever society women noted for their eX-
quisite beauty accomplish the desired
result themselves at home with perfect
safety and no pain, expense or deten-
ton indoors, They simply use ordinary
mercolized wax, which can be obtained
at almost any drug store. 1t is APP
piled at night like cold cream and
washed off in the morning. The mer-
colized wax slowly absorbs the half
dead outer skin. causing 1t to flake off
day by day in fine, almost imper-
oeptible particles like fiour. The fresh,
vigorous young skin underneath soon
shows forth, blooming radiantly with
health and beauty. The face begins to
look years younger, though the use of
the process absolutely def1es detection
by the closest observer.
Naturally this process also removes
all such minor facial blemishes as
freckles, tan, moth patches. liver spots,
fine wrinkles. pimples. etc,

CREATURE SIXTY FEET.
Pretty Maid HOrrOr-Stricken

Monster.

A recent statement of Pro j. II.
Munyon, the famous health expert, rel
alive to the prevalence of a queer dis
ease throughout the country, notably
that of tape worms, or internal para
sites. has aroused much interest and
now seems to be borne out by facts.
Hundreds of cases are being reported
from the places where the Munyon
Health Campaign is being conducted.
A young woman recently brought into
Munyon's headquarters, Menk's Phar-
macy, LOG Market street, a tape worm
that measured probably sixty feet in
length. She said:
Under no circumstances will l al

nection with this matter, but / will
say that 1 have suffered for years
from what several doctors old me was
chronic stomach trouble. l was weak
and all run down most of the time,
and l had a dull. gnawing pain in the
pit of my stomach which tormented
me. l seemed to be growing abnor-
mally nervous: / would have fits of
temper which l could not understand
myself, and really natural sleep be-
came a stranger to me. This was
further complicated by pains in my
back and sides, dizziness. headache
and periods of awful mental depres-
sion. I consulted many doctors and it
seemed they treated me for every dis
ease they could think of, but / never

incurable disease.
