This Frees Your Skin
From Hair or Fuzz

The method here suggested for the
removal of superfluous hair is quick
and certain and unless the growth is
extremely stubborn, a single applica-
ton does the work. Make a stiff paste
with Tome powdered delatone and
water; apply this to the hairy surface
and after about 2 minutes rub it off,
wash the skin and the hairs are gone.
To avoid disappointment. be sure your
druggist sells you delatone.-Adver-
