“As Sweet As A Rose !”

Every girl likes to have this comment made about, her-that she is "as sweet as a rose!" To acquire the charm which warrants such admiration the first essential is internal cleanliness.

The simplest means to ensure this, which is adopted by many girls and women-and men too is to take an occasional dose of Pinkettes,. the dainty little laxatives which act as gently Thus. as nature and neither gripe nor purge. the food tract is made clean and wholesome and, the tiny pills being purely vegetable and non- habit-forming, natural daily regularity is quickly restored.co

Lloyd

Pinkettes dispel constipation, bilious attacks. liverishness. sick beadaches, in a single night. They purify the breath, brighten the eyes, clear the skin of pimples and blotches, and induce that glow of health which is the hall-mark of true. beauty.

Obtainable from chemists everywhere,
