February and March worst
Months For This Trouble
How to Remove Easily.

There's reason why nearly everybody
freckles in February and March, but
happily there is also a remedy for these
ugly blemishes, and no one need stay
freckled.
Simply get an ounce OF othine, double
strength, from your drug gist, and apply q
little of it night and morning, and in a
few days you should SEQ that even the
worst freckles have begun to disappear,
while the light ones have vanished en-
tirely. Now is the time to rid yourself of
freckles, for il not removed now they may
stay all summer, and spoil an otherwise
beautiful complexion. Your money
back il othine fails.
