heads on my chin; in fact all over my
face. Also pimples. 1 have also some
times red humps, which are very sore

plain food and very little candy. If you
would give me advice and tell me a good
blood purifier 10 take, ! would be very
grateful. 1 am in good health. G. II.
Since you are in good health and your
diet is so simple, it would seem that
you should be able TO clear the skin. In
addition to avoiding candy, eliminate
from your bill OF fare greasy foods of
every description, pies, pancakes. and
sweet cakes. Eat plenty OF fruit and
greens.

It is a somewhat lengthy process TO
get rid of enlarged pores. The best
way is by the use Of the complexion

the pores that have become enlarged
by the clogged secretious are kept free,
and gradually resume their normal size

a thorough scrubbing the black points
still remain, rub them with a piece OF
soft linen. saturated with equal parts Of
alcohol and water OF cologne and water.
