BlackheadS Go Quick
By This Simple Method

Blackheads-big ones or little ones
soft ones or hard ones-on any part
OF the bCdy. go quick by simple
method that just dissolves them. To
do this get about two ounces of calo-
mite powder from your druggist
sprinkle a little on a hot. wet sponge
rub over the blackheads briskly for
Il few seconds-and wash Off You'll
wonder where the blackheads 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 unsightly-and
unless the blackheads are big and soft
they will not come out, while the
simple application of calonite powder
and water dissolvcs them right out,
leaving the skin soft and the pores
in their natural condition. You can
get calonite powder at any drug
store and if you are troubled with
these unsightly blemishes YOU should
certainly try this simple method.-Adv.
