 LIVER. SPOTS-It would be inter esting to know how many nunursus of letters I have received during the past quarter of a century from peo- pie who said thoy were afflicted with liver spots" %ow, what they meant was brown or liver colored spots, usually on the face but sometimes on the face and hands and even on the arms.
 When such people go to their doctor they usually complain of chrome constipation bat if the doctor was alive to natures signal of distress there would be no reason for the suffer- CT tO explain about constipation for that is a self-evident fact. The great trouble. however, is that pills or other 1az 7ttves do not remove the liver & )Cys," and for the simple reason that the liver Is in no wise to blame for the discolored skin.
 Liver pills and othe cope ttat ir riu tes and outrages tic Hva', one of the efficient and active organs of the body thst is ae dom out O. order, should not be used without a positive knowledge that they are needed and IL @ mere fact that you are consiEat- ed does not at all mean that the liver h,as censed it's steady and automatic work. Instead it means thai your diet is at fault or that you did not heed the c;.u of nature at the proper time
 The liver pours ou+ it's sec -etIons and they pass with the food into th lrtestincs. If the colon has not beer emptied and the jntes1nes cans ot Tass their contents on as they should, there is. sometimes a rcVolut;on sat up and an action takes place called reverse Teristalsis >nd the partly di- IL! ted food with the secretions of tho liver are pumped back into th3 stou7- ach. Next morning there is & Acrri b'e, nasty smell in the mouth. the tor zue is coated and the bre lth smells IlzS a last years hens nest.
 Liver spots are caused by a1to-in- tor ication and many other worse con ditions are caused by the same t~ou- ble. Tho principal source of auto-in- toxicatic', is in tbe retained fecs mat ter Bect use a b WI novenn mt :s ob- tained cry day and hay still have liver spots sorno reo~Ie WOuI! ! deny that they gre at all constipated and therefore would say t5at my toncIu- siOns are not correct, but if. such a person could visit t--e diszectinS room of q rfsedi "aI cclIsS- or watch the autopsy after such a person has pass ed on, there would be ample proof IIt1r lilE 4llpN-lL--IA- " '3<N LDsAl l"O LO four days lat or berind time and in some cases hard, dry, iInpanted fecal matter is found in the folds of the colon that appear to have been there for months or even years. Such is the source of liver spots. Such also is the urce of 90 per cent. of all cases of sick headaches.
 It is seldom that a doctor makes a thorough and careful examination of such patients; it is easier to give the pills and call it a case of chronic con stipation or Inigraine, but when ar examination is really made, sore and tender spots will be found in the ab- ttomen and a thorough high ene ma Ei, en by d trained nurse or as they gre given in hospitals and sanitari- uns, will remove the cause, and t!ter if mineral oil is used for 4 tirae anE proper diet is used, inc trouble will not only not recur but the colored scots on the skin will disappear Ore sue cassful physician insisted on all pa ii nts suffering with liver spots get 4ii 2 down on tHe floor and lrning Eurersa ultS---several of them and sey- er.al times a day-and then eating P c-ly of fresh fruits and raw vege nG.es All the vi ay through it is an deal p-escYiption q nd tte fact that CT spGts 1elAon. appear b sfo~e gray
