the physician with so admirable a skin
that all his women patients asked the
secret. He told one. who generously
told others. that, knowing the re-
markable absorbent property of ordi-
nary mercolized wax. he concluded
this substance would make an excel
lent complexion remover and pre-
server Knowing the wax could not
harm the skin, he began using il af-
ter shaving. He soon observed that
the old, withered. colorless cuticle
was being gradually absorbed and re-
placed by younger healthier skin.
This was the simple secret of the
silver haired doctor with the boyish
face.
The secret became public property.
Now women everywhere use merco-
lied wax, applying it nights like cold
cream, washing 1t off mornings con-
tinuing until the complexion IS en-
tirely renovated. An ounce of this
wax. procurable at any druggists,
will Danish the worst complexion.
Another valuable rejuvenator used
by this doctor was a wrinkle-re remover
