To Discard FreckIes,
Tan, Pi,7,ples, Wrinkles

The use of creams containing animal
substance sometimes causes hair to grow.
You run no risk of acquiring superfiuous
hair when you use ordinary mercolized
wax. There is nothing better for a dis
colored skin, as the wax actually absorbs
ally replaced by clear, smooth. healthy
complexion, full of life and expression
It's the sensible way to discard a frechled,
tanned, over-red. blotchy or pinpled skin
Get an ounce of mercolized wax at any
druggists and apply nightly like cold
cream, erasing in the morning with soap
and water. It takes a week or so to
complete the transformation.
The ideal wrinkle remover is made by
dissolving an ounce of powdered SaNoltts
in a half pint witch hazel. Bathing the
face in the solution brings almost instan-
taneouS results.

Use Zen,o for Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying a little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 25c. Extra
large bottle, $1.OO. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In a short time
usually every trace of pimples, black
heads, rash, eczema, letter and similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, zemo is an exceptional
remedy. 1t is not greasy, sticky or
watery and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
meut for all skin troubles.
