Absorption Process Makes Faces Young Success has at last come to scient ists who for years have sought some method of removing the outer veil of facial skin in cases iif unsightlv com plexions, which would be both pain less and harmless. The new process is so simple, so inexpensive, the der is no one had discovered it long ago. It has been amply demonstrat ed that ordinary mereolized wax (sold by druggists in ounce packages), en tirely removfs, by gentle absorption, the withered, lifeless surface skin, showing the youthful, roselike skin beneath. The wax is applied at night, like cold cream, and washed off in the morning. The absorption also cleanses clogged pores, increasing the skin's breathing capacity anil preserving tone, color and natural beauty of the new skin. A simple and harmless wrinkle-re mover which has also proved quite successful can easily be made at home in a jiffy. All one need do is to dis solve an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel and bathe the face in the solution onee a dav for n while. After the very first applica tion the liner lines disappear and the deeper ones soon follow.—'Advertise ment.
