Recipes for Wrinkles
and Bad Compilations

OF all the beauty recipes that have
been published, here are two that have
successfully stood the test OF time:
Wrinkle Remover-One ounce. pow
dered saxolite, dissolved in II pint
witch hazel. Use as q wash lotion. 1t
brings instantaneous results.
Face Peeler-Pure mercolized wax,
applied at night like cold cream, only
not rubbed in: wash off In the morn
ing. 1t causes the WORKOUT scarf skin
to come off in tiny, almost invisible
flakes, little each day. until the
fresh young .under-skin Is wholly in
evidence. The beautiful rose-tinted
complexion thus obtained is not to be
compared with one made over with
cosmetics If the old skin Is marred
with freckles, pimples or other blem-
ishes, these defects are OF course dis
carded with the skin itself. An ounce
of the wax is sufficient in any case.
The ingredients named are mex
pensive and can be found in any drug
store

HEADACHE AND NEURALGIA

Hoyt's Headache and Neuralgia Cologne
now heads the list as successful remedy
for the relief of headache, nervousness, in,
somnia, car sickness, etc.
The dangerous tablet has had its day.
Hoyt's Headache and Neuralgia Cologne
is harmless, refreshing, fragrant prepa-
ration, marvellous in its action, reliev-
ing nervousness, sleeplessness, exhaustion
and all head and nerve ailments by ex-
ternal use and inhaling. 1t is not a nerve
food, but nerve soother. BY giving the
nerves rest they furnish their own food
and tone, and all nerve pains disappear.
For children's colds and catarrh it is
just the remedy, harmless and efficient and
so pleasant to use. For men pleasant
remedy to relieve and clear the head ''the
morning after the night before" This is
not an expensive preparation at so cents a
bottle, because it brings the relief. It has
many imitators at less price, but if they
do not bring the desired results they are
not cheap at any price.
Get Hoyt's and you viii be satisfied.
For sale at all drug stores.
