You simply saturate tbe balr with the liquid ; In a moment or two It becomes dissolved, and after washing off with a little plain water not a trace of tbe hair will remain. Id place of the undesirable balr growths on face, neck or under the anna, all yon see is smooth, clear, velvety skin. The quick, thorough, harmless action of Gl Rado has made It a great favorite among society women everywhere. They now re- gard it as Indispensable a toilet preparation as cold cream or face powder. Tbe fact that many physicians use the ingredients In El Bado for exactly tbe same purpose, balr re- moving, shows conclusively bow perfectly safe it Is. Bay a bottle of El Rado and test it on your arm; if you are not entirely pleased with tbe results your money will be refunded without question.
