Cures PimpIes Quickly
Simple Remedy That Clears Ski
Quickly of all Eruptions.

For several weeks past Bowditch, Web
ster & Co. have done the biggest bust
ness they ever had in any one article in
selling Hokara, the skin food that has
won so any friends in Augusta.

cure not only for all minor skin trou-
bles, such as pimples. blackheads herpes.
acne. scaly scalp. complexion bIemishes,
itching feet, piles, etc, but for the worst
sores, ulcers, or even chronic eczema and
salt rheum. There has yet to be found
any form of wound or disease affecting
the skin or mucous membrane that Ho-
kara does not heal. and it's action is Sc
instantaneous that those who try it are
simply delighted with it right from the
start.
In spite of its unusual curative powers
the price is trifiing; To convince every
one of its merits. Bowditch, Webster 4
Co. will sell a liberal-siZed jar for 25c
larger size SOC. And remember that ii
you do not think it does what it claims
you get your money back You certainly
can afford to try it on this plan.
If the skin disease is caused by impure
blood, or if the bowels are inactive, use
Hokara Blood tablets They cool and
cleanse the blood and regulate the bowels
in a natural way.

upward tendency in individual towards
a life of truth and Righteousness, the
chaplain continued:
Since the purity of the home de-
ponds upon the purity of those who
compose it. the character of the ma
ton depends upon the people who make
the nation. Help us therefore, as in
dividuals. to strive earnestly to cast out
the beam from our own eye that we
may see clearly to pull the mote out
of our brothers eye. If We are to be-
come muckrakers, help us to rake be-
fore our own door and if we have time
then let us help our neighbor. Since
cant and hypocrisy are the most helm
GUS of all sins, deliver us, We pray
thee, from them"
