For Pimples, BIackheads and
Shiny Nose

Shiny Nose
My dear Miss Doom:
I'm a boy II years of age, and from
last year on my face has been changing
every day. First thing l haye a few
b~lackheads and pimples, and the second,
my face and nose are very shiny. VIII
you kindly let me know what these con-
ditions are from and how to remedy
them? How is my writing? remain,
A. p.
/ wonder IL you are very careful of
your diet? Pimples generally, though
not always, mean that the thus
foods. Avoid sweets, rich gravies and
pastries and eat plenty of fresh vege-
tables and fruits. Every morning
upon arising drink two cups of water
just as hot as you can possibly drink
1t, and between, not with, meals
drink plenty of cold water. Do not
neglect the daily bath with a bath
brush and the good brisk walk. IL
you go~to business and your
are such that there is not much ZINE
for exercise, leave the house-an hour
earlier each morning and walk all or
part of the way to the Office. Walk

sluggish liver and for bringing the
blood to its normal circulation.
II you have not already taken some
tonic to purify the blood, | advise you
to try sulphur and molasses. The
recipe for this is powdered sulphur,
two ounces; cream of tartar, n
ounce; .molasses, one pint. Mix until
smooth. Take a tablespoonful three
mornings, omit three mornings, and
continue this way until you have
taken nine doses.
So much for the internal treatment.
The external treatment consists of
keeping the skin s~crupulously clean,
in order that the pores may be able
to do their work of Kidding the sys-
tenn of the poisonous substances
which are not taken off through other
channels. Daily applications Of some
ointment, preferably zinc, which your
druggist will recommend, will help
clear the complexion. Remember,
though. that since the cause is in
ternal, the greater part of the cure
must come from within. In many
cases the Juice of a lemon taken in
water before breakfast is very bene-
fetal, but if you are inclined to be
thin l would not advise your taking
It. as ii Is one of the treatments
recommended for obesity.
The greatest preventive of black
heads is absolute cleanliness. Every
night before going To bed wash the
face with n complexion brush. hot
water and while the pores are still
open massage the face for fifteen min
utes with a good cold cream. Remove
the cream with a soft cloth, then wash
in tepfd water and rinse In cold water

been added.
The green soap treatment is highly
recommended for removing black
heads. The lotion is composed of two
ounces of distilled witch-hazel and
two ounces of tincture of green soap.
Green soap may be purchased at any
druggists. Tt is not a regular cake
soap, but of the consistency of Gus.

a few minutes and then wash it off
with hot water. If the soap i~rritates
the skin, as 1t sometimes does, use It
every other day and follow it with a
generous application of cold cream.
After the treatment remove those
