SURE WAY TO GET
 RID OF BLACKHEADS

There is one simple. safe and sure way that never fails to get rid of blackheads and that is to dissolve them
 To do this get two ounces of ealonite powder from any drug store-sprinkle a little on hot wet spongc-rub over the hackheads briskly-wash the parts and you will he surprised how the blackheads have disappeared. Big blaekheads, little blackhcads, no matter where they are, simply dissolve and disappear, leaving the parts without any mark whatever. Black heads are simply mixture of dust and dirt and scsretions from the body that form in the pores of the skin--pinching and squeezing only cause irritation make large pores. and do not get them out. after they become hard. The calonite powder and the water simply dissolve the bls heads so they wash right out, leaving he pores free and clean and in their natl sll condition. Anybody troubled with u sa unsightly blemishes should eetainly trs this simple method.-Adv.
