Salts In Hot Water
Clears Pimply Skin
Says We must make kidneys
clean tho blood, and plm.
ples disappear.

Plmples, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poiSons and impur-
itles 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
1t 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 impurities than the
kidneys can eliminate, then the blood
uses the skin pores as the next best
means OF getting 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 authority.
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 breakfast for one
week, This will prevent the formation
Of toxins in the bowels. It also stim-
uates the kidneys to normal activity,
thus coaxing them to filter the blood OF
impurities and clearing the skin Of
plmpleS.
lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice combined with lithia
Here you have a pleasant effervesceni
drink which usually makes pimples
disappear. ClcanScS the blood and :.
excellent for the kidneys as well. (Ady)
