BEAUTY IS NO INHERITANCE.


Kate Field has made the remarkable
statement that the enormous sum of
sixty-twO million dollars are spent
every year by American women tor
cosmetics, face powders, washes of all
kinds. most of which are made of oxide
of zinc. corrosive sublinate and other
poisonous substances which, instead Of
beautifying the complexion, destroy
even healthy skin. n natural rosy
and healthy complexion can not be had
by the use of these cosmetics, but only
through the health of the body in
general, and nothing is better to secure
this result than the genuine imported
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, when taken
early in the morning before breakfast
(abomt small teaspOOnful, dissolved in
a tumblcrful Of water).
The remarkable merit of this salt,
which is produced by the City of Carls-
bad by the evaporation of Carlsbad
Sprudel water, has been known to the
civilized world for more than five CEN
turtles. 1t has achieved its nnapprOacll.
able reputation and retains it wholly
on its merits. 1t is u natural remedy
that is always effective in all disorders
Of the stomach, liver and kidneys. For
habitnal constipation, equity and rheu-
matte affections it is without equal.
1t clears the complexion and produces
healthy color. Be sure to obtain the
genuine article which has the signature
of "Eisner &, Mendelson Co., Agents,
n. Y" on every bottle. Price per
bottle s1.OO; large size Sl.50.
