YOUTH-VITAMISED Q-TOL has always been famous for relieving sunburn and the new Youth-Vitamised Q-TOL is more effective than ever. It not only provides a mild anaesthetic effect which relieves the pain instantly and soothes the nerves, but also hastens the removal of the parched, dead skin-cells caused by the dangerous "burn" and stimulates the renewal of skin from below (see diagram). Youth-Vitamised Q-TOL is non-greasy and screens the harmful ultra-violef rays of the sun, but allows, actually aids, the beneficial rays to bring glowing health to your skin. THE GREATEST ADVANCE SKIN SCIENCE EY" Extra Advantages Added to a Famous Product! 0-yv Scientists have discovered that it is a vitamin that keeps skin healthy and youthful . ~ . fresh looking and free from blemishes. Its deficiency in the skin results in blotches, roughness, a tendency to develop sores, pimples, blackrjeads, and more serious imperfections, including eczemo. Such a dramatic difference presents itself when the vitamin is applied, and so quickly does the texture and health of the skin Incorporated into Q-TOL. Youth-Vitamised Q-TOL now has extra advantages not possessed by any other skin emollient, and is more than ever the real essential to skin comfort. So that you will understand how the skin does its work we present a simple explanation with illustrative diagram. The skin is composed of two parts—EPIDERMIS or cuticle, and DERMIS or cutis vera. . The EPIDERMIS (B) consists of stratified layers of cells, the surface ones being hard arid horny. The deeper layers are composed of protoplasmic cells, and form the Malpighian layer (E), Between the two layers are two intermediate strata (C, D), in which the transformation of protoplasm into horny material takes place. The cells become more and more scaly as they approach the surface, where they lose their nuclei and eventually become detached The epidermis grows by a multiplication of the deepest layer of cells. The newly-formed cells push towards the surface of those previously formed; in their progress they undergo gradual transformation. • .....' The epidermis has no blood-vessels. Nerve-fibres pass into its deepest layers, and ramify between the cells. THE DERMIS (G) is composed of dense fibrous tissue. In its deeper part it passes by insensible degrees into the adipose tissue of the subcutaneous region. The denser superficial layer is the seat of numerous blood-vessels (the finest branches of which are called capillaries), also of the sebaceous and the sweat-glands.

Functions of the Skin large Bottle 2/~ Double Size Q/Q Mode at the Q-TOL- I FLUENZOL LABORATORIES \ under strict analytical conw::::'^mm:i The skin has many functions. (1) It acts as a protective covering to the underlying structures. (2) it is an important secreting apparatus for water and salts. (3) It is the chief means by which the temperature of the body is regulated. (4) It is an orgon of sense, touch, pain, heat and cold. (5) Its oily nature protects it from water absorption. (6) Certain oily substances are absorbed by the unbroken skin and carry medicaments in with them. Pores and Glands As seen from the surface, the epidermis (B) is intersected by a number of fine cross lines, and at the ends of the fingers presents the appearance of concentric circles, and wavy lines, differing in every individual. On the surface, also, fine pores are seen; these are the openings of the sweat-ducts (A). The skin is supplied with two sets of glands, the sebaceous, or oil glands, and the sudoriferous, or sweat glands. The oil glands open up into the follicles, or depressions, from which the hairs spring. The sweat glands consist of long convoluted tubes, placed in the deep part of the true skin, and of spiral ducts passing through the epidermis to reach the surface (H). The Skin a Living Organ Right through life the superficial layers of the skin are continuously shed, and the loss due to dally wear and tear Is made good by a constant renewal from the deeper layers by a process known as "cell division." The upward-moving cells gradually become hard end form the horny cell-layers on the surface, and gradually become cast-off. Although there are no blood-vessels in the epidermis, all the vessels end capillaries of the true skin carry blood (G). In fact, they represent the" finest ramifications of the circulatory system, and they carry the blood-stream from and to the heart. In this way a continuous flushing out of the tissues of the skin with fresh blood is effected, ensuring the proper nutrition of the skin and its continuous repair, together with the removal of waste products accumulating in the skin. Beauty of the Skin As the reader will have discovered from the explanations and diagram printed above, the health and beauty of the skin depend upon the blood-circulation and upon the activity of cell-division and renewal. With the passing of the years undesirable manifestations become noticeable, due to internal changes. The capillaries gradually atrophy, and the nutrition of the skin is impaired. The elastic fibres of the true skin shrink and harden, and changes in the subcutaneous tissue result in loosening and flabbiness. Skin Rejuvenation Recent scientific discoveries now make possible a new and improved treatment of the skin the "Youth Vitamin" principle now incorporated in Q-TOL skin Emollient. This adds extra advantages to a product already famous as a skin emollient. The "Youth Vitamin" now incorporated in Q-TOL is so deeply absorbed by the skin that it has the power of reviving the smoothness and resiliency of youth and it is of great assistance in preventing and correcting skin blemishes. It has an exceptionally soothing and grateful emollient effect, because it is a true "skin nourisher" and supplies the deficiencies that are responsible for roughness, redness and flabbiness of the skin. Youth-Vitamised Q-TOL is a natural and scientific aid to skin-rejuvenation. Skin Rejuvenation from below A skin emollient can result in little benefit UNLESS IT AFFECTS THE UNDER-SKIN. Skin faults and blemishes are usually the result of the under-skin becoming soft and flabby or of clogging of the pores, or defective blood-circulation. That is why YouthVitamised Q-TOL helps to restore and retain the skin of youth. IT WORKS FROM BELOW—reviving the activity of the true skin, stimulating the circulation, clearing the pores, smoothing away the lines and roughness that give an "aged" appearance to the face and hands. The Youth-Vitamin in the new Q-TOL is a true reviver of youthful smoothness and beauty.
