VENETIAN BEAUTY SACINETS make it possible to remove blackheads without brusing the cells and leaving a permanent open pore to mar the skin.

VENETIAN HEALING CREAM is an excellent re- medial cream used for pimples and eruptions. Excellent as an afternoon treatment when the skin is marred by blemishes. For those who prefer a-- lotion VENETIAN ACNE LOTION is excellent. It can also be used as a powder foundation.
