YOU'LL GET RID OF
 BLACKHEADS SURE

There is one simple. safe and sure way that never fails to get rid of blaekheads and that is to dissolve them.
 To do this get two ounces of ealonite powder from any drug store-sprinkle a little on a hot. wet sponge-rub over the black heads briskly-wash the parts and you will be surprised how the blackheads have disap- peared. Big blackheads. little blackheads, no matter where they arc, simply dissolve and disappear, leaving the parts without any mark whatever. Blackheads are simply mixture of dust and dirt and secretions from the body that form in the pores of the skin. Pinching and squeezing only cause irritation. make large pores, and do not get the black heads out after they become hard. The cal- onite powder and the water simply dissolve the blackheads they wash right out. leav- ing the pores free and clean and in their nat nral condition. Anyone troubled with these unsghtly blemishes should certainly try this simple method.-Adv.
