THE PIMPLE
 AND THE FACE
First Show Signs of the Blood Poverty Which Causes Most Skin
 Diseases.

It is a strange truth that pimples usually appear upon the face, thus il- lustrating that nature uses the most direct method of convincing man that the blood is filled with poison.
 The human circulatory system is said to be the most wonderful of all evidences of nature. It carries health. food and strength to every part of the body. It also carries from every part of the body all germ life, waste matter and decay.
 If through poor eating, indigestion, con stipation, etc., the blood is filled with pois- onous, decaying, irritating fluids, these poisons are carried to the lungs, where they are attempted to be cleansed by the oxygen from air inhaled
 If this does not accomplish the results demanded the blood takes away the poison and carries 1t to the little cells of the skin, where they leave it. Here these poisons irritate and decay, until at last they form pimples and blackheads and other skin eruptions; at last bursting or are removed by man.
 When you have pimples 1t is a cer- tain sign your blood is wrong. that the great human blood system Is turned into an intricate series of sewerage canals which are filled with impurities.

 the Money Rack Cure

Nine times in 10 stomach Arrangements are responsible for sallow complexion. dull eyes, thin body and colorless cheeks.
 It is the stomach that supplies nourish- ing blood to the muscles, the nerves, and skin. If the stomach is healthy, plenty of nutritious matter will be absorbed by the blood. If 1t is not healthy, the food will ferment, and undigested, the food will pass along through the bowels. furnishing so little nutritious matter that the blood becomes impoverished and the glow of health vanishes.
 If you suffer from nervousness. sick headache belching of gas, sour taste in the mouth heaviness after eating. or any other miserable stomach disturbance, you need Mi-o-na, the mighty cure for in digestion, and the sooner you get 1t the quicker you will be healthier and hap pier.
 It will relieve any distressed stomach condition almost immediately. It will cure if used according to directions. E. B. Norton sells it for 30 cents a large box, and he thinks enough of 1t to guarantee 1t to cure indigestion, sea or car sick ness, vomiting of pregnancy or money back.
