How to Remove the
Agfc-Lines and Wrinkles
II seems difficult to believe that so
sim /le a thing as wetung the face
with a soothing. creaVny tarkroot
emulsion will actually remove
wrinkles, crowsfeet and sasginess be
fore one's very eyes, in a few min
utes. and without the least harm. But
thousands of women have proved this
to their satisfaction, it is only neces
sary to use a teaspoonful of powder
ed tarkroot mixed with a little pla.n
water then go to the mirror .-ind
watcli the age-lines, furrows and
flabbiness disappear like magic! It,
is a most startling experience, hven 1
very aged faci-s are remarkably re
juvenated.
Anvone who will procure an orig- I
inal "package of powdered tarkroot
from the druggist and follow the di
rections will be astonished and de
lighted with the result. She will find
it not onlv perfectly non-injurious,
but decidedlv beneficial to skin and
complexion. ' I'nlike cosmetics or
make-ups. it does not leave an un
natural effect, but is to be washed off
• ntirelv in about a half hour, leaving |
the complexion much freshened, nat
uial and beautiful.
