Every one envies beautiful skin
Just as every one envies a healthy
person.
Unsightly faces filed with pimples,
discolorations, blackheads, etc, are
nothing but unhealthy faces due to
blood impurities. Cleanse the blood
and the facial blemishes disappear.
You must not believe that drugs
and salves will stop facial biemishes.
The cause is impure blood filled with
all manner of refuse. matter.

and clear the blood. driving out all
