FRECKLE-FACE
Now is the Time to Get Rid of These
Ugly Spots.

Do you know how easy it is to remove
those ugly spots so that no one will call
you freckle-face?
Simply get an ounce of othine, double
strength, from your druggist, and a few
applications should show you how easy
it is to rid yourself of freckles and get
beautiful complexion. The sun and winds
of February and March have a strong
tendency to bring out freckles, and as a
result more othine is sold in these months.
be sure to ask for the double strength
othine. as this is sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove the
freckles.
