Absorbs Skin, Chases
Wrinkles-Young Again

THE shock at beholding myself in
the glass after nine long weeks abed,
nearly caused a relapse" writes
Emily Colson in Home Queen. The
faded face, with its lines of illness
and worry, seemed 80 years older.
Now, l thought, | could not attend
my chums wedding, II days off, TO
which l had looked hopefully for
ward
she herself came to my rescue.
She procured an ounce of mercolized
wax, which she bade me spread on
like cold cream, washing it off next
morning. Applied nightly, this APP
parently absorbed the withered skin
so gently l experienced no discomfort
Upon the wedding morn the pallid
complexion had entirely given way to
one of youthful color and loveliness
And there wasn't a wrinkle. This
/ due to a wash lotion made by dissoly.
/ ing an ounce of saxolite in a halt
pint witch hazel. The daily face
bath had dispersed every line"
