A Home Recipe for
Wrinkled, Saggy Skin

The famous saxolite lotion recommend
ed by beauty specialists for removing
wrinkles and for reducing distended pores,
can be easily made AT home. Ask your
druggist for saxOlite in powdered form,
l o.. and 4 pint witch hazel. Dissolve
the powder in the witch hazel and bathe
the face, neck and hands in the solution.
Results are remarkable and instanta-
neous. The skin tightens, and this natu-
rally reduces the wrinkles, as we'll as

or hands. The tissue beneath the skin
also becomes firmer and more solid.
