Ugly PimpIes
 Have All Gone Face Sight, But iN . Short Time Stuart's Calcium Wgfsrs
 Worked Wonders

Many an otherwise pretty girl is distracted with her appearance. Poor girl She doesn't yet know that Stu arts Calcium Waters will quickly transform her into a perfect dream lof loveliness. And many a young man with tender skin just growing 6 brist- ly beard is also sight to behold. All the face creams in the world are nothing but masks. They do not over come pimples. but merely allay surface irritation.
 Skin n-health must come from within. Skin-tissue is made from the blood, and as 1t is a tendency of nature to throw off a good share of impurities through the skin, naturally impurities gather on the surface in the form of pimples. blotches. blackheads and other eruptions. But Etuart's Calcium Waters have remarkable activity ir the blood which seeks the skin a au outlet for it's impurities. These gro thrown off in invisible mist of gas, are consumed in the oxygen of the sir. and in a few days all imperfectiona of circulation and of skin- health gre overcome.
 All blemishes disappear and the skin becomes as clear and smooth as . baby's. Go to the drug store today any druggist can supply them--and get a box of StuRrt's Calcium Waters for trial. They will cost you only 5o cents but are really worth many d0i- lars to you if your face is marred by ugly pimples, blotches, blackheads, etc. Convince yourself by actual test that Stuart's Calcium Waters are the most effective blood and skin purifiers Ia the world.
