FRECKLE-FACE
Now is the Time to Get Rid of These
Ugly Spots

Do you know how easy it is to rex
move those ugly spots SO that no one
will call you freckle-face?
Simply get an ounce of Carpol, ey-
ira strong, from your druggist, and
few applications should show you how
easy it is to rid yourself of freckles
and get beautiful complexion. The
sun and winds this month have strong
tendency to bring out freckles and as
a result more carpol is sold in these
months. Be sure to ask for the extra
strong, as this is sold under guarantee
or money back if it fails to remove the
freckles-Carpol Laboratories, Boston,
Mass, Sta. M. Mail orders filed.
