For SallolU, Wrinkled,
 Freck1ed, Pin1pled Skin
(From Woman's Home JournaD

If you have any cutaneous blemish don't use paint, powder or anything else to cover it up. Too often this only emphasizes the defect. Besides, it's much easier to remove the disrg- urement with ordinary mercolized wax. Applied nightly, the wax will gradually remove freckles, pimples, blackheads, moth-patches, sallowness, red or yellow blotches, or any surface eruptions. The affected cuticle is ab- sorbed, d little each day, until the clear. soft, youthful and beautiful skin beneath is brought wholly to view. Ask the druggist for an ounce of mer- colized wax and use this like you use cold cream. Remove in morning with soap and water. Many who have tried this simple and harmless treatment report astonishing results.
 If bothered with wrinkles sagging cheeks or double chin, q wash lotion made by dissolving an ounce of saxo- lite in a half-pint witch hazel will prove eftectuaJ
