This Leaves the Skin
Free From Hairy Growths
(Toilet Talks)

A simple method for completely
removing every trace of hair or fuzz
is here given. This is painless and
usually a single treatment will ban
ish even stubborn growths. To re-
move hairs, make a thick paste with
some powdered delatone and water,
spread on hairy surface and after
about two minutes rub off, wash the
skin and the hairs are gone. This
method will not mar the skin, but
to avoid disappointment, be certain
you get delatone.
