American Women Get
Old French Beauty Secret

Six years ago a well-known So

France ran across an old trench
receipt used by ancient beauties
which showed a process for COM
bining the well-known beautifying
oils (Almond, Palm, Cocoanut ana
OlIVe oils) with other nourishlnS
substances, so that when applied
TO the skin, 1t quickly brought
about an almost magical transtor-
With a single application the
complexion Immediately becomes
most wonderfully clear, pink and
youthful in appearance.
If a little of the preparation.
which comes i'll a delicate, creamy
form, is gently rubbed on the face
Just before retiring or at some
convenient time during the day
YOU can almost see the hungry skin
eat up or absorb the cream which
does not feel the least bit sticky
OF greasy.
Through it's tonic action on the
skin the dormant facial muscles
revive, enlarged pores contract,
lines. wrinkles and crows feet dis
appear and the skin becomes clear
and more girlish looking in ap-
pearance.
Beauty Doctors say that it is
the only treatment in the World
that will actually remove wrinkles
and make an old face look young
and beautiful.
This old French Beauty Secret
has been placed on the market un-
der the name of Am-o-niZed Cocoa
Cream and it can now be obtained
from any good druggist. Instruc-
tions come with each package Civ
ing the proper method to employ
for removing wrinkles, reducing
enlarged pores. correcting flabby
skin, sagging muscles. etc.
Local druggists are having a big
call for Am-o- -niZed Cocoa Cream
as many women have made them
selves look from 10 to 20 years
younger by it's use.
