There is an old saying that beauty is
only skin deep, but that It far from
the truth. Beauty is founded on
good health - without that there is
no real beauty. You "a cover up a
muddy or sallow complexion with face
powder, but il will not be beauti-
full. A homely woman in good health
is usually more interesting and more
charming than a bilious dyspeptic
beauty. Constipation and a sluggish
liver impair good looks. If you are
troubled in this way take Chamber

looking better and feeling better.
