SALTS IN HOT WATER
CLEARS PIMPLY SKIN
Says We Must Make Kidneys Clean
the Blood and PimpIcs
Disappear.

Pimples, sores and boiIs usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impuri-
ties which are generated in the bowels
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 Gre
ate more toxins and impurities than
the kidneys can eliminate, then the
Mood uses the skin pores as the next
j best means Of getting rid Of these i'm
purtties, which often break out all
over the skin in the form of pimpges.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says a noted author
1ty, is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of ia Salts and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of hot water
>each morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the fOrma-
ton of toxins in the bowels. 1t also
stimulates the kidneys to normal &C
tlVlty, thus CoaXing them to 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 lithia
Here YOU have a pleasant efervescent
drink which usually makes pimples
disappear, .cleanses the blood and is
excellent foS the kidneys as we'll.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for caloinel -- are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver Is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel-
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calorael does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids Or calorael. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomes sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is best not
to take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take it's place.
Most headaches, "dullness'' and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards,
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and
heavy" Note how they clear ciouded
