i have been q stage beauty since
DAYS you can't remember. Now,
at a grand mothers age, / am still
stage beauty, and l look like q
girl of 10.
The thousands who see me daily
marvel at my youthful bloom. 1t
seems unbelievable to them. Count
less women have urged me to tell
the secret.
Now I am doing more than that.
I am supplying all who wish the
very helps l use. The helps France
gave me years ago. The helps that
made me famous as girl, and that
keep me girl today. [ hope they
will bring to millions what they
brought to me, and [ believe they
will.
White Youth Clay
My chief help is n clay. Not like
the crude and muddy clays so many
use today. 1 quit those years ago.
There is now white refined clay
which brings manifold results. 1t
has been perfected by 20 years of
scientific study.
I apply it twice a week. 1t purges
the skin of all that clogs it the
causes of sallowness, blackheads
and blemishes. 1t brings the blood
| to the skin to nourish and revive
it. The result is rosy afterglow
and immediate new complexion.
1t firms the skin, combats al
lines and wrinkles, reduces enlarg
ed pores. Many women in 30 min
utes seem to drop ten years. My
own face shows what constant use
will do.
This White Youth Clay will dc
for any girl or woman more than
anything else know. The new
beauty and new youth it brings
will be amazing to you.
My Facial Youth
This is a liquid cleanser which
owe to France. No cleansing cream
1 ever saw in any way compares.
1t contains no animal, no vege
table fat. So it cannot grow hail
on the face. 1t cannot assimilate IL
