BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin Is the seat Of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are kncwu
by various names, but are all due TO the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have q smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations Of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for short time, but caunot remove per.
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfguring pifnples.
Efernas vigilance IS the Bs,z00
Of a beautiful o0snpEoxf0n
