Skin Without Wrinkles Now Easy to Have There's no excuse for any woman : having wrinkles now. It has been found that a simple mixture of saxo lite and witch hazel lias a remarkable ; action upon the deepest wrinkles, no matter what their nature. whether] caused by worry, habitual frowning, a debilitated condition or the ravages ' of Father Time. This harmless remedy, which anyone can easily make and use j at home, acts both as an astringent j and a tonic. The combined effect of tightening the skin and heightening its vitality is to immediately affect j every line and wrinkle, keeping the cuticle smooth and firm as in youth. , The proportions are one ounce saxo lite (powdered) to one-half pint witch hazel, ingredients which are found in I every drugstore. The solution should I be used as a wash lotion. It Is equally effective in disposing of flabbiness of cheek and neck, as well as sagging be- I low the eyes. Don 't kill yourself This is the story that women folks as well as men folks are telling each other. "TU-80-LAX" is especially beneficial and desirable for the gentler sex. Their delicate organism is such that cathartics and strong purgatives cause irritation, bearing down pains, and general debility. TU-80-LAX seems to invigorate all the vital organs. It cleanses the lower bowel thoroughly and pleasantly. It seems to invite all the undi gested food in the stomach down through the intestines without any discomfort. By its beneficial effect —the lazy liver is awakened to new activity, so that biliousness, Jaun ders and sallow complexions are no longer a terror to women who use TU-80-LAX. Probably more than 1,000 homes in Philadelphia to day have discarded purgatives of all sorts and depend upon TU-80-LAX. They have discovered that taking medicine in the mouth to pass down through the stomach and intes tines to remove a little obstruction in the lower bowel is as antiquated as the "Tallow Dip." TU-80-LAX is a laxative ointment that immediately dissolves the hardened substances in 2 MINUTES and gives a thorough evacuation of the lower bowel. By removing the refuse and poison from the system, the blood becomes enriched—digestion is stimulated, the liver is made active and the whole body becomes—stronger. Remember,you can carry TU-80-LAX around in your pocket, and can get the relief desired at any time. Your druggist can furnish you the TU-80-LAX, or we will send you upon receipt of 25 cents—a package by mail. TU-BO COMPANY 13th and Market Sts., Philadelphia, Pa.
