RECIPE TO CLEAR
A PIMPLY SKIN
Pimples are Impurities Seeking
an Outlet Through Skin
Pores.

Pimples, sores and boils usually result
from toxins, pOisons and impurities
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 table
spoonful 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 stimulates the
kidneys to normal activity, 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, effervescent drink
which usually makes pimples disappear
cleanses the blood and Is excellent for the
kidneys as well.-Advertisement.

EARTH MOTHER
TO ALL MANKIND

the grateful and careful user as well az

exploiter of her bounty. The earth, down
to the deepest mine, every drop Of water
in her lakes, seas and rivers, in the

which sweeps and energies all things,
is not only our living abode, not only
our last resting place, but the source Of
our maintenance. our happiness and our
prosperity.
