Thus the calf was unable to struggle.

CARE OF THE SKIN.

That Europeans as a rule have
healthy skin and glowing compilations
is due in large measure to the fact
that they do not use poisonous drugs.
such as are usually found in cosmetics
and face bleaches.
The principal cause Of skin eruptions
is poor digestion. which results in dis
easad conditions of the blood. and to
remedy this one should doctor the
stomach and not the skin. Drink
plenty Of water. take exercise every
Gav and eat nourishing food in small
quantities These are the golden rules
of health as practiced by wise people.
Sometimes the system needs Il tonic
and the circulation of the blood is
doubtless greatly assisted by the use
of simple herbal remedies. particularly
at this time of the year prescrlp-
ton made up from purely vegetable
and absolutely nom poisonous drugs Is
furnished by prominent physician
Cut this out for future use:
Fluid extract of Burdock Seed, one
half ounce: fluid extract Of yellow
Dock one-half ounce; concentrated
Lecto compound, one ounce; syrup o
ginger, two ounces.
These harmless ingredients can b.
secured at nominal cost from any Eoot
drug store. and be mixed at home q
put up by the pharmacist, as may b
