Absorption Process
Makes Faces Young
(From the Home Maker)

Success has at last come to scien-
lists who for years have sought some
effectual method of removing the
outer skin in cases Of unsightly COM
piexions. which would be both pain
less and entirely non-iLturious. The
new process is SO simple, the means
so ordinary. so inexpensive, the Won
der is that no one had discovered
the same long ago.
Il has been amply demonstrated
that common mercoIized wax, to be
had at any drug store, completely re-
moves, by gentle absorption, all the
withered. lifeless cuticle, showing the
youthful, roselike skin underneath.
The mercoliZed wax IL applied at
night-like cold cream. but not rub
bed in-and washed of in the morn
ing. The absorption also cleanses
clogged pes. increasing the skins
breathing capacity and capillary cir
culation, preserving the tone. color
and natural beauty of the new skin.
