Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss F'reckle-face.
to try a remedy for treckles with the
guarantee of a reliable dealer that it
will not cost you penny unless it
removes the freckles: while if it does
give you a clear complexion the eX-
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of othine-dou-
BILE strength-from any druggist and n
few applications should show you how
easy it is to rid yourself of the home
" freckles and get a beautiful COM
plexion. Rarely is more than one ounce
needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine as this is the
prescription sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove
frectles-Advertis
