 Ask your druggist for an ounce f ordinary mercolized wax and begin using this tonight. Apply like cold cream. washing it off in the morning. Keep this up for a week or two. The wax will literally absorb the coarse, colorless OF blemished top skin, but so gradually as not to diseonamOde you al all. Just as gradually the clear, vel vety naturally tinted underskin comes to the surface. And mercolized wax becomes your everlasting friend
