 By This Simple Method

Blackheads-big ones or little ones soft ones or hard ones-on any part of the body, go quickly by a simple method Nthat just dissolves them. To do this get about two ounces of calonite powder from any drug store-sprinkle little on a hot, wet cloth-rub over the black heads briskly for a few seconds-and wash off. You'll wonder where the blackheads have gone. Pinching and squeezing blackheads only open the pores of the skin and leave them large and unsightly-while the simple ap- plication of calonite powder and the water dissolve them right out, leaving the skin soft and the pores in their natural condition.-Adv.
