RECIPE TO
CLEAR A
PIMPLY SKIN
Pimples are Impurities Seeking an
Outlet Through Skin Pores.

Pimples, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impur-
tiles which are generated IN the bow
els and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine,
bu- in many instances the bowels Gre
ate more toxins and impurities than
the kidneys can eliminate, then the
blood uses the skin pores as the next
best means of getting rid of these i'm
purities which often break out all over
the skin in the form of pimpIes
The surest way to clear the skin Of
these eruptions, says a noted author
ity. is TO get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of hot water
each morning before breakfa for
one week. This will prevent the for
nation of toxins in the bowels 1t also
stimulates the kidneys to normal ac-
tivity, thus coaxing them 70 filter the
blood of impurities and clearing the
skin of pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with ithia-
Here you have a pleasant. effervescent
drink which usually makes pimples
disappear, cleanses the blood and is
excellent for the kidneys as well.-Ad-
