New Way TO Remove
Hairs Creates Sensation

What beauty specialists regard as one of
the most important discoveries in recent
years is the phelactine method of remov-
ing superfluOus hair. Its great advantage.
of course. lies in the fact that it actually
removes the hair roots. 1t does this easily.
instantly, harmlessly. Sufferers from the
afflietion named need no longer despair.
The actual hair-rOotS come out before your
very eyes. leaving the skin as smooth and
hairless MS n babes.
Because 1t offers such complete relief,
stick of phelactine is the most mex
penslve thing woman can buy for the
removal of hairy gr0wths. For the same
reason druggists are having an enormous
demand for 1t. You can use it with en-
tire safety; it Is harmless one could
even eat 1t without any lie effect.-Adv.
