Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Re.
move Them With the Othine
Prescription.

This prescription for the removal
of freckles was written by a promi-
nent physician and is usually so sue
cessful in removing freckles and CIV
ing clear, beautiful complexion that
it is sold by any druggist under guar
antee to refund the money if it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few appli-
cations should show a wonderful inl-
provement, some of the lighter freck-
les vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
is sold on the money-back guarantee.
