UNSIGHTLY FRECkLES
 Instantly Removed

Try this simple formula: Go to any toilet counter and get bottle of Derwillo; apply two or three times daily then watch the freckles disap- pear. The very first application proves it. Once you try it you will never be without it. Thousands use it in place of face powder, as it not only removes freckles, but in- stantly beautifies the complexion as we'll. There is no substitute for Der willo as no other freckle remover does this. It gives you rosy, white, velvety skin everyone "just loves to touch." Sold at all depart ment and drug stores with the dis tinct understanding that if you are not pleased in every way you get your money back.
 NOTE--A leading [ ggist, recent ly interviewed said, (e have never sold any freckle remover which gives better satisfaction than Derwillo. It is having an enormous sale and we gladly refund the money to anyone dissatisfied. It is guaranteed abso- lutely harmless, and is sold at all toilet counters in this city, including ". L. Dewoody.
