Absorption Process
Makes Faces Young

Success has at last come to scien-
lists who for years have sought some
method of removing the outer veil Of
facial skin in cases of unsightly COM
pleXions. which would be both pain
less and harmless The new process is
so simple, SO inexpensive, the wonder
is no one had discovered IT long ago.
1t has been amply demonstrated that
common mercolized wax (sold by
druggists in ounce packages) entirely
removes, by gentle absorption, the
withered, lifeless surface skin. show
ing the youthfuI, roselike skin beneath.
The wax is applied at night, like cold
cream, and washed off in the morning.
The absorption also cleanses Clogged
pores. increasing the skins breathing
capacity and preserving tone. color
and natural beauty OF the new skin.
A simple ans harmless wrinkle-re-
mover which has also proved quite
successful can easily be made at home
in a jiffy. All one need do is TO dis
solve an ounce of powdered saNoIite
in half pint o; witch hazel and battle
the face in the solution once a day for
awhile. After the very first sprIics-
tion the finer lines disaI pear and the
seeper ones soon follow.-Adv,
