blood, apd to attempt a u r by exter-
nal treatment is an endless, hopeless
task. Some simple wash or ointment
is often beneficial when the skin is
much infamed or itches, but you can't
depend upon local remedies for perma-
nent relief, for the blood is continually
throwing off impurities which irritate
and clog the glands and pores of
the skin, and as long as the blood re-
mains unhealthy, just so long will the
eruptions last. To efectually and per-
manently cure skin troubles the blood
must be purified and the system
thoroughly cleansed and built up, and
