For Chapped , Rough, Red or Blotchy Skin Do you realize that Just beneath that coarse, rough or discolored complexion there's an exquisitely beautiful skin of youthful tint aud delicacy? if you could only bring this complexion to the surface, discarding the old one! You can—•, in the easiest, simplest, most natural manner imaginable. Just get an ounce of ordinary mercoltzed wax at any drug store, apply nightly like cold cream, removing it mornings with warm water. The wax assists Nature by gradually taking off the lingering particles of dead and naif-dead surface skin, causing no discomfort whatever. Cutaneous defects like chaps, pith pies, blotches, liver spots, moth patches, freckles, of course disappear with the old skin. Nothing else will accomplish such wonderful results in so short time.—Advertisement.
