Removes Hairy Growths
Without Pain or Bother
(Modes of Today

1t is not necessary to use a painful
process to remove hairy growths, for
with a little delatone handy you can
keep the skin entirely free from these
beauty destroyers. To remove hair,
make a stiff paste with a little pow
dered delatone and water. Spread this
on the hairy surface and in about 2
minutes rub off, wash the skin and the
hairs are gone. To guard against dis
appointment, be careful to get real
delatone. Mix fresh as wanted.
