HERE IS A GOOD WAY
 TO GET RID OF PIMPLES

Bathe your face for several minutes with resinol soap and hot water, then apply little resinol ointment very gently. Let this stay on ten minutes, and wash off with resinol soap and more hot water, finishing with dash of cold water to close the pores. Do this once or twice day, and you will be astonished to find how quickly the healing, antiseptic resinol medication soothes and cleanses the pores, re- moves pimples and blackheads, and leaves the complexion clear and vel vety. All druggists sell resinol soap and resinol ointment.-Adv.
