BLACKHEADs GO QUICK
BY THIS SIMPLE METHOD

Biackheads-big ones or little ones
soft ones or hard ones--on any part
of the body, go quick by u simple
method that lust dissolves them. To
do this get about two ounces of Gallo
nite powder from your druggist
sprinkle n little on n hot, wet sponge
a few seconds-and wash off. You'll
wonder where the blackhcads have
gone. The calonite powder and the
hot water have just dissolved them.
Pinching and squeezing blackheads
only open the pores OF the skin and
leave them open and unsightiy-and
unless the blackheads are big and
soft they will not come out, while
the simple application of calonite
powder and water dissolves them
right out, leaving the skin soft and
the pores In their natural condition.
You can get calonite powder at any
drug store, and IL you are troubled
with these unsightly blemishes you
should certainly try this simple
mcthod.-Ady.
