final photographs-Was measured on
a specially designed electro-photom-
eter. Thus, for the first time, the
measurement Of skin tightening was
removed from guesswork and put
under strictly scientific standards.
The results of these tests were
positive and amazing. In the case of
all six subjects the skin became meas
urably lighter and more attractive.
In addition, the careful daily exami-
nation of the skin of each subject
showed other eryimportant benefits.
PImpIes, Biackheads Removed
The six subjects had a total OF 164
pimples at the start of the tests.
After six weeks use of Nadinola, Ill
of them 5000 were found to have
been removed without recourse to
diet or internal medication. The
effect of this removal was a crafty
ing and almost unbelievable improve
ment in the subjects appearance.
This Improvement was even more
apparent to the eye than in the sworn
before and after" photographs.
Five of the six subjects were found,
at the beginning of the tests, to be
troubled with blackheads. A careful
count for these five subjects showed
SO blackheads in the skin at the be-
ginning Of the experiments and II at
the close.
OF the n removed, only five we're
removed by finger pressure; the rest
of them disappearing without any
squeezing out by the subject. The
pressure removal, as a matter of fact,
was done to demonstrate how the use
of the cream acted to loosen and
soften large, stubborn blackheads,
thus permitting their removal by
this method.
