NeW Way to Remoue
Hairs Creates Sensation

What beauty specialists regard as
one of the most important discover
les in recent years is the phelactine
method of removing super1uous hair
Its great advantage, of course, lies in
the fact that 1t actually removes the
hair roots. 1t does this easily, in
stantly, harmlessly. Sufferers from
the affliction named need no longer
despair. The actual hair-roots come
out before your very eyes, leaving the
skin as smooth and hairless as a
babes.
Because II offers such complete re-
lief, a stick of phelactine is the most
inexpensive thing a woman can buy
the same reason druggists do not hesi-
tate to sell 1t under a money back
guarantee. You can use II with en-
