FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that il
will not cost you a penny unless it re-
moves the fIeckles; while if it does
give you clear complexion the ex-
pense is triflirg.
Simply get an ounce of Othine-
double strene th-from any druggist
and a few app ications should show you
how easy it is to rid yourself of the
homely frecklfs and get a beautiful
complexion. Rarely is more than one
ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this strength
is sold under guarantee of money back
if it fails to remove freckles
