How to Look Years Less Than Tor Age
tFrom The Dermatologist.


 The most aged face will look years younger after the use of ordinary mer- colized wax for from ten days to two weeks. This remarkable substance, be- cause of its peculiar absorptive power. actually removes the thin veil of faded or withered outer cuticle little at a time. Gradually the fresher. more youthful skin underneath is revealed. This absorption process being a purely hygienic one, an entirely natural com plexion is acquired-quite different from the artificial complexion, which appears anything but girlish, though often bearing painful evidence of child ishness. An ounce of mercolized wax, obtainable at any drug store, is suffi- cient to rejuvinate any complexion. It Is put on like cold cream at bedtime, and removed mornings with warm, sudsy water.
 To eradicate such age marks as wrinkles and furrows. make wash lo- ton by dissolving an ounce of pow dered saxolite in half pint witch hazel. This has wonderful astringent and tonic properties. It quickly effaces all kinds of wrinkles, no matter how caused, making the skin firm, smooth and young looking.
