DRIED-UP COMPLEXION RESTORED BY NEW METHOD

SIMPLE AND SAFE. It is astonishing how few women realise that the coarsening, discolouring and deterioration of their complexion is due to the shrivelling-up of the outer or scarf-skin (which occurs periodically), causing the tiny scaly particles of dead skin to cling to the fresh one underneath, defying removal by ordinary methods. The discovery of mercolised wax as a means of dealing with this condition presents tlie simplest and most inexpensive method available. The withered out-worn surface skin win not come away of its own accord, but disappears like magic beneath the application of mercolised wax. All j T ou have to do is to secure a small quantity from your chemist, and after washing the face in warm water and partially drying it, anoint tlie skin all over with the tips of the fingers. This should be done at night on retiring, and allowed to remain until the morning. If this method is consistently followed for about ten days, the dried-up complexion is entirely removed, and in its place is clear, unblemished skin provided by Nature herself, freed from the impurities with which it haa been smothered. All chemists stock mercolised wax. Get some to-day and free your complexion from disfiguring accumulations.
