For Rough, Wrinkled
Fr.ckled. Pimpled Skin

AS March winds, flying dust and dirt,
are apt to injure any complexion. this
information will be of special value
right now. II you have any cutaneous
blem.s:l, don't use paint, powder or any
thing else to cover it up. Too often this
only emphasizes the defect. Besides,
it's much easier to remove the dis
figurement with ordinary mercolized
wax. Applied nightly. the wax will
gradually remove freckles. pimples.
moth patches. sullowness. red or yell
low blotches or any surface eruption.
The affected cuticle Is absorbed. little
each day, until the clear, soft. youthful
and beautiful skin beneath Is brought
wholly to view. Ask the druggist for
one ounce Of mercolized wax and use
this like you use cold cream. Remove
in morning with soap and water. Many
who have tried this simple. harmless
treatment report astonishing results.
II bothered with wrinkles or burrows,
a wash lotion made by dissolving OF.
powdered saxolite in " pit. witch hazel
will prove wonderfully effective.
