FRECKLES.

A correspondent iidicules the
claim that Carlsbad Sprudel
Salt is a remedy for freckles.
He thinks the following adver-
tisement "absurd :"
Freedom from freckles and
from all such disfgurements and
blemishes, follows, the use of
the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt. 1t
clears and freshens the skin won
derfully-takes away that dull
and mottled look that comes
from stomach arrangements.
Besides being q purgative and
an eliminativc, the Sprudel is a
decided Alternative or blood puri-
fer. 1t is the prescribed remedy,
even in chronic and stubborn
cases of eczema and such dis
orders"
l take the occasion to say
that there is much apprehension
concerning freckles and their
treatment. Women who have
suffered year after year from
these annoying blemishes are
wont to consider them due to
the rays of the sun. Nothing
can be more illogical. Yet from
time to time physicians have
ventured the same explanation.
One authority on dermatology
has declared that freckles are
due to too much iron in the
blood, and that the sun brings
the iron-stained spots to the sur
face much as they do to bit of
cloth which has come in contact
with iron, and then is exposed to
the sunlight. In other words,
that freckles are iron rust, and
that eradication may best be by
a lotion.
Now the real fact is that the
sun does not produce freckles,
and that all the topical treat
ment is useless. This may be
proved from the fact that they
rarely, if ever, appear in children
under theage of six, even though
they run in exposure to the
bronzing influence of the sun all
day. Again, they do not appear
in many girls who are out-of-
doors most of the time, and do
appear in others who work in
doors and do not face the sun
once a week.
1t is not the sun or the air
that causes them, but it is the
disordered stomach, liver and
kidneys. Wherever we find
freckles we find such disorder.
AS the Carlsbad Sprudel Water
or Salt restores these organs to
health, so they remedy the
freckles. Instead of being "ab-
surd," no treatment could be
more rational.

promises to be interesting. The pro-

ants are said to be many. a mistaken
idea has gone out in regard to the

say that they are barred out of the
contest owing to a too great number of
singers. This is untrue. The man

statement be made that no number
limit is set for the competing parties.
