NEGRO DROWNED AT THE CHAMPION COMPRESS WHARF George Grady Fell Off Lighter While Helping to Unload Cotton. Bad Complexions are Now Easily Discarded Every woman has it in her own hands to possess a beautiful and youth ful complexion.

The action of the wax is not drastic, but gentle, and agreeable. Minute, parti-, cles of scarf skin come off day by day, vet no evidence the treatment is dis cernible, other than the gradual com plexional improvement. One ounce of mercolized wax,, procurable at any drug store, suffices for most cases. It is put ,on at bedtime like-cold cream and ta ken off in the morning with warm wa ter. It is a certain method of discard ing freckles, liver spots, : moth patches, blackheads and pimples.
