Reports for the lodse year Just

A DRUGGISrS BEST FORMULAS
Any lVonrn Can Easily Prepare Them
and Can Save Money,
Every druggist has what he claims
his pet formula, says a retired drus
gist. I put in over 30 years in the
retail drug business and I spent many
hours figuring and working out formu
las. The three most successful ones
were a greaseless cold cream a skin
whitener and a tonic for developing the
bust and rounding out the form. Of
course, I always sold these ready to
use, but any woman can make them
herself In a few minutes, thereby sav
ing the profit. I made. .
The greaseless cream Is prepared by
dissolving two ounces of cerol in a pint
of boiling water, stirring until creamy
and cold. This cream will not grow
hairs or clog the pores, and will re
move wrinkles and crowsfeet.
The form developer Is made by di
solving a cup and a half of sugar in
enough cold water to make a pint, then
add one ounce of true gallol. This
gallol is a little expensive, . but one
ounce makes enough ' for a month's
treatment and is certainly the be.-t
tonic for women I ever saw. The
whitener for red hands and arms is
prepared by dissolving two .ounces of
amarol in a pint of hot water. This
simple lotion will make the hands and
arms soft, white and velvety.
