SUPERFLUOUS HAIR “CURES"
While there may be no perceptible
harm noticeable with the first few ap
plications of the numerous so-called
superfluous hair "cures" other than
causing slight skin troubles and an in
creased growth, real danger and disfig
urement lurk in their frequent use,
which, if continued, will produce ecze
ma or other serious skin diseases
Furthermore, after each lemoval. the
hair grows out again more rapidly,
coarser and stiffer than before and
eventually it will become so coarse that
no preparation "ill be strong enough
to remove it without ruining the skin.
It is surprising that these unknown
and uncertain means should be em
ployed when there is such a reliable
and trustworthy preparation as De-
Miracle, the only absolutely non-pois
onous depilatory that dissolves hair,
thereby taking the vitality out of it.
consequently retarding and preventing
an increased growth.
Beware of the imitator who resorts to
copying certain phrases of the De-
Miracle advertising to inveigle you into
using a worthless, poisonous concoc
tion. When a faker tries to deceive
and delude you by alluring and im
possible claims, tell him that DeMiracle
Chemical Company will forfeit Five
Thousand Dollars if it can be proven
that any so-called superfluous hair
“cure" ever eradicated one single
growth of superfluous hair. Insist on
proof tvhen a claim is made that such
a. preparation is "indorsed by the medi
cal profession."
DeMiracle is the only depilatory that
htfh ever been indorsed by reputable

physician-, surgeons, dermatologists,
medical journals, prominent magazines
and newspapers. To substantiate our
claim, we "ill send copies of the testi
monials on request.
Only goods of merit can stand the
test of time. The mere fact that fake
dangerous preparations are short-lived
should alone be sufficient warning to
avoid the use of any depilatory but that
of proven merit. DeMiracle was the
largest selling depilatory ten yeais ago
and more of it has been sold each year
since than the combined sales of the
nostrums.
All reliable dealers sell and recom
mend DeMiracle, knowing it to be the
best and safest depilatory. Some un
principled ones "ill tell you they can
not procure it so that they may more
easily influence you to purchase their
