A DOZEN or more requests have
a come to me recently for a fuller
explanation Of the merits and uses
Of the Japanese sea-weed which Is
sold under the name Of agar-agar
From time to time In this column ]
have advised several people to take
this extremely beneficial agar, but
there are several readers who have
not seen the explanation Of this
which was printed recently.
Agar agar IS a japanese seaweed
which is dried and usually sold at
drug stores in the form Of small
white flakes. II is TO be taken every
day. one teaspoonful at a time, and
l. may be mixed with any wet dish,
such as breakfast cereal, or mixed
taken dry and washed down by a
drink Of water.
II is not assimiloted by the system.
but forms a SOFT Eelatine-like mass in
the stomach and, with the due pro-
cesses Of digestion. passes through
Il is not assimilated by the system.
in that form Its work is to carry be-
fore IL much waste material which
frequently stays for months and is
not eliminated even by the use Of
enemas. and laxatives- Where such
sluggish elimination exists. there is
sure TO be variety Of minor as well
as grave troubles The usual effect Of
faulty elimination is a mass Of nim-
pies on the face or the back. and the
black heads and coarse pores that in
eVltably follow such a condition The
1eces that have collected in the body
cause fermentation and poisoning
which is felt throughout the system.
agar agar is not a laxative and is
not a drug. It VIII not. as is the case
with many laNatives. increase the
trouble which it temporarily relieves.
II can be taken every day without
any harmful results. Anyone who is
troubled with black heads, pimples.
coarse pores or a muddy skin will
benefit by taking agar-agar. At the
same time the digestion should be
improved by a wisely chosen diet
