In Home Queen. THE faded face, with
its lines OF Illness and worry, seemed
twenty years older. Now, I thought,
could not attend my chum's wedding,
eleven days off, TO which l had looked
hopefully forward.
She herself came to my rescue. She
procured an ounce Of ordinary mercol-
lied wax at the drugstore. which she
bade me spread on like cold cream,
nightly. this apparently absorbed the
withered skin. so gently / experienced
no discomfort. Upon the wedding morn
the pallid complexion had entirely given
way to one of youthful color and lowell
ness.
And there wasn't a wrinkle. This due
to a wash lotion made by dssolving an
ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint
witch hazel. The daily face bath had
dispersed every line."-Advt
