Simply get one ounce of ‘othine—double strength, from The Lee & Osgood Company, and apply a little of it at night, and in the morning you will see that even the worst have begun to disappear, while the light freckles have vanished entirely. It is seldom that more than an ounce is needed to completely clear the skin and gain a beauti- ful, clear complexion. ' Be sure to ask for the double-strength othine, as this is sold under guarantee of money back if it fails to re- move the freckles.
