Pimples, sores and boils usually re- suit from toxins, poisons and impurities which are generated in the bowels ana 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 or hese eruptions, says noted authority, to get from any pharmacy about our ounces of lad 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 stimu- lates the kidneys to normal activity. thus coaxing them to filter the blood of impurities and clearing the skin of pimples.
