SIGNORINA TOTI DAL MONTE  

The Brilliant Operatic Prima Donna who has endeared herself to  

the hearts of music-lovers the world over, is another of the  

beautiful women who use and advocate Mercolized Wax as the  

ideal complexion beautifier.  

Remove tired skin; there’s prettiness below

Just lift away those dead and dying particles of skin,  

those blemishes that make your face look tired. Get rici  

harmlessly of the old skin, free the pores of dust and  

powder, let the new skin breathe. Removal of impurities  

is the only really effective way to skin loveliness. Don’t  

any more plaster your face with pore-clogging creams.  

Regular overnight application of pure Mercolized Wax  

evenly over face and neck will clear your complexion and  

keep it clear. This unique Wax will absorb and thus  

remove all that veils your true prettiness. Mercolized  

Wax is keeping pretty women beautiful and plain women  

pretty all the world over. Buy 2/6 jar from any store  

or chemist to-day. Start using to-night.  

Spend 2/6 for Beauty
