The Importance that Attaches to the Care
Of the Blood II One Wants Bright Eyes
and q Clear Complexion.
Every sensible woman naturally wishes
to appear attractive. She knows the value
Of bright eyes, delicate complexion and
lively spirits. She knows also that
good health is at the basis of her charms,
and that good blood is the source Of good
health.
Miss Mamie Conway has a complexion
which is the admiration of all who know
her. Asked If she could make any sug-
gestions that would be helpful to others
less fortunate, she said:
my complexion would not have
pleased you, If you had seen it two years
ago. It was then about as bad as it
could be, and it gave me a great deal of
dissatisfaction. III you want good
complexion you must take care Of your
health. especially Of the condition of
your blood. My health was at that time
completely broken down. was nervous,
had frequent headaches, torpid liver
and great deal of pain in that region.
I suffered also from indigestion. 1t was
clear that my blood was in bad condition,
for pimples broke out all over my face. I"
