One Little Pimple Spoils a Beautiful Face No matter how beautiful the fea tures. how radiant the complexion, just one little pimple spoils it all. Not always i-an these little facial blemishes be prexented. for they may be caused by the too frequent use of irritatinsr soaps, powders, rouge or pos sibly impure, blood. Kvery care should he taken to pre serve the skin, especially the face, neck, arms and hands. Only the pur est and best sterilized toilet soap should be used to cleanse tne skin, and when a face powder must be used, one of the. highest quality should be se lect ed. When a pimple pops out on your face, you don't have to remain indoors or try to hide it. Simply touch the little spot witli Black and White Ointment. It will vanish almost like magic. This little aid to beauty is such a neces sary toilet requisite for removing facial blemishes, freckles, tan. sunburn, clear ing dark, sallow, muddy complexions, that a package should be kept on every woman's dressing table.
