RECIPE TO CLEAR
A PIMPLY SKIN
PINTPLEs ARE IMPURITIES SEEK.
ING AN OUTLET THROUGH
SKIN PORES.

Pimples, sores and boils usually
result from toxins poisons and i'm
purities which are generated in the
bowels and then absorbed into the
blood through the very ducts which
should absorb only nourishment to
sustain the body.
II is the function of the kidneys
to filter impurities from the blood
and cast them out in the form Of
urine, but in many instances the
bowels create more toxins and i'm.
purlties than the kidneys can elimi-
nate, then the blood uses the skin
pores as the next best means Of get
ting rid of these impurities which
often break out all over the skin in
the form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin
Of these eruptions, says a noted au-
thority, is to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces Of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in glass OF
hot water each morning before
breakfast for one week. This will
prevent the formation Of toxins in
the bowels. 1t also stimulates the
kidneys to normal activity, thus coax
ing them to filter the blood OF i'm
purt'es and clearing tho skin Of
pimp'es.
Iad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
AID ia made from the acid Of grape.
and lemon juice, combined with lIth'

vescent drink which usually makes
pimples disappear; cleanses the bloot
and is excellent for the kidneys al
well.
