Pimples and eruptions of all kinds
come from the inside. The blood casts
out the impurities 1t contains and thus
pimples, boils, etc. appear. Cleanse
the blood, stop the poison from devel-

will vanish as if by magic.

a natural manner the greatest blood
purifer-Calcium Sulphide. b
Calcium Sulphide and the other in

needs. You must know that the blood
is rushing through our veins very fast.
1t takes less than a minute for our
blood to cover the entire body.
You can thus readily see that Stu
