Of a face full Of pimples. Hollow
cheeks, sunken eyes, and a sallow
complexion will defy his best inten-

The skin is merely the surface on
which is written in plain characters
the condition Of the body. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is good for
the complexion because it makes the
whole body healthy-becauSe it clears
out impurities of all kinds. By in
creasing the ability to assimilate nu
tritious food, and by the infusion of
its own ingredients it enriches the
blood and so makes solid, healthy
flesh. 1t cures diseases of the lungs,
liver, stomach, bowels, skin and scalp,
simply because all these diseases
spring from the same cause-a dis
ordered digestion and consequent i'm
pure blood.
