How to Cure Pimples

1t is truly remarkable how Cadum,
the new skin remedy, causes pimples
to disappear. The very worst cases
are frequently cured in week, and
often in even less time. Cadum causes
pimples to dry up and fall off, leaving
the skin as soft and smooth as a
baby's. Pimples are a disease of the
skin, and are not caused by bad
blood, as many people suppose. Cad
UNI cures these annoying and disfig-
uring facial blemishes because it can
be applied direct to the trouble, and
it's soothing, antiseptic and healing
powers stop the itching at once. Cad
