Delightful new vanishing cream contain ing true buttermilk makes you look years younger or your money back
 The first application of Towards Butter milk Cream will astonish you. It creates beauty almost like magic, but the most won derful thing about it is the fact that whilst it turns the dullest and most lneless eom- plexion to radiant beauty and makes red or rough arms snowy white yet there is not the slightest sign of it's use after applica- ton. It atcually vanishes from sight and the most heated atmosphere will not pro duce the least shininess or greatness of the skin.
 There is no secret about it is thers any doubt about the result-its just common ordinary Buttermilk in the form of a won derful cream gently massaged with the finger tips around the corners of the eyes and mouth.
