The sensible, rational way Is to actually remove the thin veil of stifling, half-dead scarf skin from the face and give the fresh, vigorous and beautiful young skin underneath a chance to show Itself and to breathe. This (b best done In a very simple way, by merely applying mercollzed wax at night, like cold cream, and washing It off In the morning. Good mercollsed wax can be obtained from any well stocked druggist. It absorbs the disfiguring cu Jcle gradually and harmlessly, leaving a brilliant natural complexion. Of course this also takes with It all such facial blemishes as red blotches, tan, moth patches, ssjlowness, liver spots, pimples, etc. As a freckle remover and general complexion beautlfler this old-fashioned remedy Is un equaled.
