Blackheads are not only unsightly but
they are really ineXcusable, because they
are evidences of uncleanlineSs. Black
heads, or flesh worms, as they are still
more yulgariy called, are an obstruction
of the sebaceous glands or skin outlets.

through these glands harden and clog the
outlet. They are oily in their nature and
attract dust, which attaches itself to the
point of each tiny obstruction, growing
larger and blacker each day. There is
but one rational way of treating black
heads, all other theories to the contrary.
They must be gently forced out without
squeezing, which results in enlarging the
pores and often in abrading the skin. Pro-
ceed as follows with hlackheads and they
will certainly disappear.

Red noses are certainly most unattractive
and l always feel so sorry for the girl

cases dyspepsia is the cause; and the red
noSed girl is also victim OF cold feet and
hands and of impoverished blood. Tight
