Don't Squeeze Black
 | heads Dissolve Them

Squeezing and pinching out blackheads makes the pores large and cause irritation then, too. after they have become hard you cannot get all of them out. Blackheads are caused by an accumulation of dust and dirt and secretions from the skin and there is only one safe and sure way and that one never fails to get rid of them--a simple way. too-that is to dissolve them. Just get from any drug store about two ounces of calonite powder-sprinkle little hot wet sponge rub over the blackheads briskly for few seconds-wash off and you'll be surprised to zee that every biackhead has disappeared. and the skin will be left soft and the pores in their natural condition--anyone troubled with these unsightly blemishes should try this simple method.-Adv.
