Note—Hudson Seal Is Dyed Muskrat CThis dainty vanishing cream - scientifically correcs perspiration odor Comparatively few people suffer daily with excessive perspiration moisture. But nearly everyone is troubled constantly with the dis- agreeable odor of underarm perspiration, regardless of degree of moisture. It is to give effective pro- tection against this blight on personal daintiness that Creme Odoronoisintended. Only after exhaustive lab- oratory research has it been ‘brought toscientific perfec- tion by the makers of Odorono. Creme Odorono, the de- lightful'new vanishing creamdgodorant, is entirely different from any other cream or paste deodorant.
