Pretty when she
wakes up

This is the real test The girl who wakes
fresh and radiant, with a clear, smooth
skin which has no defects to conceal, need
not worry about her looks. She possesses
the greatest of all attractions = the one
which outshines all Others
This need not discourage the girl whose
complexion is not so good. Proper care
will soon transform bad skin into one
admired for its perfection.
Get rid of the clogging accumulations
which cause coarseness and dishguring
defects and you will soon be compli-
mented on your fresh blooming COM

The secret is simple and about 5000
years old. 1t was discovered I'M ancient
