Hairs VIII Vanish.
 After This Treatment
(Toilet Helps)

You can keep your skin free from hair or fuzz by the occasional use of plain delatone and in using it you need have no fear of marring or injuring the skin. A thick paste is made by mixing some of the powdered dela- tone with water. Then spread on the hairs and after or 8 minutes rub off, wash the skin and all traces of hair have vanished. Be careful, however to get real delatone.
