TO DISCARD FRECKLES, TAN, PIMPLES, WRINKLES The use of creams containing animal substance sometimes causes hair to prow. You run no risk of acquiring stiprrfpluous hair when you use ordi nary mercolized wax. There is noth ing better for a discolored skin, as the wax actually absorbs the offensive cu ticle. The latter is nnturnlly replaced by a clear, smooth, healthy complex ion, full of life and expression. It's the sensible way to discard a freckled tunned, over-red, blotchy or pimpled skin. Get an ounce of mercolized wax t any druggist's and apply nightly like cold cream, erasing in the morn ing with soap and water. It takes a week or so to complete the transforma tion. The ideal wrinkle remover is made liy dissolving an ounce of powdered caxolito in a half pint witch hazel. Bathing the face in the solution brings almost instantaneous results.

A certain clnss of prejudiced and jealous doctors call patent medicines only alcoholic beverages. They will tell you that such and such a medi cine contains as much alcohol- as a glass of beer or a certain quantity of whiskey; but they do not mention that the beer or whiskey is swal lowed at one draught, while only a small quantity of the medicine is taken at one dose. At the game time they will use alcohol quite as freely any many in four or five times ns grent proportions in their own prescrip tions. Such standard remedies as Lydia E. Pinkhani's Vegetable Compound use barely enough alcohol to preserve the root and herb extractives; too little to have injurious effects; and the me.li cine can be had, if desired, in a non alcoholic form.
