Wonderful Skin and

The method Of removing bad complex
ions by absorption seems to have come
into general use in this country. Ordl-
nary mercolized wax, applied nightly
like cold cream and erased mornings
with warm water, gradually absorbs
the coarse, faded or discolored outer
film skin in almost invisible particles
Soon there's a brand new complexion,
formed by the younger, healthier, un-
der-skin. No cosmetic or artificial
treatment cal possibly produce com

illness. Druggists all have mercolized
wax; it is seldom that more than one
ounce is necessary.
Thousands have also reported great
success with the famous saxolite
wrinkle-removing formula. One ounce
of pure powdered saxolite is dissolved
in a half-pint witch hazel and the solu-
ton used as a face wash. The effect
is almost magical. The deepest
wrinkles and crows feet, as well as
the finest Iines-whether due to age,
illness, weather or worry-are i'm
mediate1y affected. No one need hest
tate to try this simple lotion, as it
won't harm any skin.-Adv.
