BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXIONS AT SIXTY.

Auy woman of fifty or even sixty years of ago may easily havo the fresh delicate complexion of a child. Wrinkles, lines, freckles, tan, and practically all skin blemishes exist only in the outer or scarf skin. This scarf skin is composod of minute scales built tip from beneath; in youth thoy wear off rapidly, but as age increases these scales bcoomo thicker and heavier, giving tho dnrk, sallow, wrinkled complexion so frequently seen in ladies over thirtyJivo or forty. Beneath this scarf skin lies tho true or living skin which always retains its youthful beauty and vitality, never becomes wrinkled or disfigured, and in it we find the real source of a beautiful complexion. Bad complexions are merely complexions that havo been covered, up with thick lifeless scarf skin, and may bo quickly restored to all their youthful beauty by dissolving tho scales of scarf skin by applying at night a little pure parinol wax, a vegetable wax which possesses the peculiar property of softening or dissolving the dead, dried scales, so that only enough remain to covcr mid protect the dermis, or true skin. Soap and water and cold creams only removo the very loosest layers of scales, and ' therefore can never bring out tho true beauties of the complexion, as is dono by pure parinol wax. for a small sum you can get enough lo completely restore your complexion, and you will oo astonished at tho immediate improvement in your appearance.—Advt.
