ONE LITTLE PIMPLE SPQILS
A BEAUTIFUL FACE

No matter how beautiful the fea-
lures, how radiant the complexion,
just one little pimple spoils it all.
Not always can these little facial
blemishes be prevented for they may
be caused by the too frequent use of
irritating soaps, powders, rouge OF
possibly impure blood.
Every care should be taken to pre-
serve the skin, especially the face,
neck, arms and hands. Only the pur-
est and best sterilized toilet soap
should be used to cleanse the skin
and when a face powder must be
used one of the highest quality should
be selected.
When a pimple pops out on your
face, you don't have to remain in
doors or try to hide it. Simply touch
the little spot with Black and White
Ointment. 1t will vanish almost like
magic. This little aid to beauty is
such a necessary toilet requisite for
removing facial blemishes, freckles
tan, sunburn, clearing dark, .sallow
muddy compilations, that a package
should be kept on every woman's
dressing table.
Black and White Ointment is sold
and guaranteed by all good drug
stores at 25c package. or the manu-
facturers will mail to you on receipt
