Nurses Discover 1t

Back Of Noxzema's sensational popu-
iarity is strange and interesting fact.
Originally it was not beauty cream at
all. Doctors first prescribed it for burns,
chapped hands and other skin troubles.
Its eject ON the skin was so marvellous
that nurses, attracted by its delicate,
snow-white smoothness, began TO use
Noxzema as aface cream. Results wereso
remarkable that today millions of other
women are following their example.
The secret of Noxzema's wonderful
effectiveness is not hard to understand.
Skin specialists tell us that all skins
would remain as attractive as they were
in childhood if it were not for certain
hidden poisons that creep in. These
poisons, absorbed through the pores.
are the cause of blemishes, coarseness,
roughness and oiliness- skin faults
which destroy the natural beauty every
woman was intended to possess.
Noxzema draws them out-quickly and

Noxzemal Unknown a few years ago,
this remarkable skin cream is today
probably the most talked of beauty
treatment in America! Recently over
$4,000 900 was offered for the secret of

a beauty protection and aid.
Noxzema is entirely unique among
skin creams-it heals as it beauties,
protecting the skin in way no other
cream can do. 1t is not only featured
by beauty parlors but is recommended
BY doctors as weli-for doctors know
better than anyone else why this medi-
Gated cream can bring such amazing
improvement to the skin.

While complete details could not be

The development of Noxzema in the
past three years has been sensational.
From an unknown healing cream pre-
scribed by a few physicians, it has be-

believe that Noxzema marks new era

Is Said Failure

dents Of Nuevo Laredo, across the
border from Laredo, have failed in
their effort to force abandonment of
a five cent tariff on calls across the
border, according to the telephone
company.
When the charge was initiated,
after a long era or free interna-
tionai conversations, mary of the
Mexican subscribers declared a boy
colt on the company and removed
their receivers from the hooks, thus
blocking any calls on the line. Last
night the company announced that
20 per cent OF their Nuevo Laredo
subscribers could now be reached by

There's no need to get panicky because the papers arc
full of news of an influenza epidemic. There's no use in
isolating yourself because a lot of other people are sick
with it. If you take two simple precautions every
day and then don't worry the chances are you will
throw of any cold or 'fu' germs you arc exposed 70, and
keep well.
We're not recommending that you dose yourself
with a lot of medicines, either. Just observe fo
common-sense health rules which can be easily followed.
