He seemed the calmest Japanese officer I had ever met, and his only impatience was with a Japanese interpreter whose English was very poor. Homma got fed up and talked to us directly in polished English. He seemed perfectly reasonable except that he insisted Americans will doubt him. But it might be partly true. The real question is.

Well, for most women, ENDOCREME can accomplish this beautifying result to a degree hitherto thought impossible.

Eight years of use has proved ENDOCREME helps to improve the skin itself, not just its superficial appearance. It is the one face cream that contains ACTIVOL. This ACTIVOL is a scientific replacement for woman's own skin-vitalizing substance. Absorbed by the skin, it helps to restore normal growth to cells and tissue. This aids the skin to regain its firmness, freshness, smoothness and radiant charm.

Introduced as the first scientific face cream 8 years ago, ENDOCREME is today assisting thousands to regain youthfulness of face and throat. Isn't this the biggest value any cosmetic dollar can buy?
