A days motoring, an afternoon on the
tennis ground or golf links, a sunbath
on the beach or exposure on a lake

a vigorous crop of freckles. A very
necessary thing then is mercolized wax,
which removes tan, redness or freckles
quite easily, II literally peels off the
affected skin--just a little at a time,
so there's no hurt or injury, As the
skin comes off In almost invisible flaky
particles, no trace Of the treatment Ia

liked wax as your druggists and use
this nightly Az you would cold cream,
