How to Discard an Unsightly Complexion. 
H 
OW many women exclaim as they bcliold their ugl\ 
this old skin !" and, do you know, it is now possible 
to do that very thing? Not to actually remove the entire 
skin all of a sudden; that would be too heroic a method and painful, 
too, I imagine. The worn-out cuticle comes oflF in such tiny particles, 
and so gradually, requiring about ten days to complete the trans- 
formation — it doesn't hurt a bit. Day by day the beautiful complexion 
underneath comes forth. Marvellous ! No matter l;ow muddy, rough, 
l)lotchy or aged your complexion, you can surely discard it by this 
simple process. Just get some ordinary niercolised wax at your 
chemist's, apply nightly like cold cream, washing it off in the mornings. 
Why Have Grey Hair ? 
FEW people know that grey hair is not a necessary feature of age 
— that it can be avoided without resorting to hair dyes. A 
very old, home-made remedy will turn the bair back to a natural 
(olour in a few days. It is only necessary to get from the chemist 
two ounces of concentrate of tammalite and mix it with three ounces 
of ii ay rum. Apply this simple lotion to the hair for a few nights with 
a small sponge and you will soon have the pleasure of seeing the grey- 
ne.ss disappear. This recipe is perfectly harmless, is neither sticky nor 
ereasy, and has given perfect satisfaction for many generations to 
those in possession of the secret. 
A Strange Shampoo. 
IW.'VS niiich interested to learn from this voung xvonian wii.h tho 
beautiful glossy hair that she never washes it with soap or 
artificial shampoo powders. Instead she makes her own shampoo 
l)y dissolving a teaspoonful of stallax granules in a cup of hot water. 
• I make my chemist get the stallax for me," said she. "It comes 
(jnly in \ lb. sealed packages, enough to make up twenty-five or thirty 
individual shampoos, and it smells so good I could almost eat it." 
Certainly this little lady's hair did look wonderful, even if she has 
strange ideas of a shampoo. I am tempted to try the plan myself. 
Blackheads Instantly Go. 
AVERY simple, harmless and pleasant pi'ocess is now used to 
remove blackheads and correct greasiness and large pores in 
the skin. You have only to obtain a tablet of stymol, obtained 
from the chemist's into a glass of hot water and bathe the face with the 
liquid after tho effervescence has subsided. The blackheads will then 
come light off on the towel. The enlarged pores immediately contract 
to normal and the greasiness disappears, leaving the skin smooth, 
soft and cool and free from blemish. But to make sure that this 
desirable result is permanent, it is advisable to repeat the treatment 
several times at intervals of, say, about four or five days. 
Permanently Removing Superfluous Hair. 
How to permanently, not merely temporarily, remove a downy 
growth of disfiguring superfluous hair is what many women 
wish to know. It is a pity that it is not more generally known 
that pure powdered pheminol, obtainable from the chemists, may be 
used for this purpose. It is applied directly to the objectionable hair. 
The re<Mmmcndc<l treatment not only instantly removes the hair, 
leaving no trace, but is designed also to kill the root.s coiriiilctely.
