1t Is Easy to Lose An
Unsightly Complexion

Have you ever exclaimed as you beheld
your complexion in the mirror, ''If only
could tear off this old skin.' And. do you
know you can do that very thing? Not to
actually remove the entire skin all of a
sudden; that would be too heroic meth
cd, and painful. too. The worn-out cuticie
comes off in such tiny particles, and so
gradually, it doesn't hurt bit Little by
little the beautiful complexion underneath
comes forth. Marvelousi No matter how
muddy, rough, blotehy or freckled your
complexion, you can surely discard 1t by
this simple process. Just get an ounce of
ordinary mercolized wax at your drug
gist's, apply nightly like cold cream. wash
ing it off mornings. The result will sur
prise and delight you.
Wrinkles can be gotten rid of by an
equally simple method BY dissolving an
ounce of pure powdered saxolite in half
pint Of witch hazel and bathing your face
in the solution, every line will completely
disappear First the finer lines finally
