stimulant to the pores Of the skin and
will assist them in throwing off the waste
matter that clogs them. have not d
doubt in, the world that this is very. ex-
cellent thing. Suppose you try it on those
persistent little black specks before you
try the more severe method? Let me
know how successful you are.
