Nov 10 the Time to Get Rid of These
Ugly Spots

Do you know how easy it is to
remove those ugly spots 50 that no
one will call you freckle-face?
Simply get an ounce Of Othine,
double strength, from your druggist
and . few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
freckles and get beautiful COM

have a strong tendency to bring out
freckles, and as result more Othine
is sold in this month. Be sure to
ask for the double strnegth Othine,
as this is sold under guarantee Of
money back if it fails to remove the
freckles.
