Your system is continually talk ing in nutrition and throwing off waste products. This process goes on all during life. But, sometimes the organs do not properly func- ton and these waste products, in stead of passing out through the pores of the skin, through the kid neys~ and through the alimentary canal, are absorbed in the blood. Then the blood becomes poisoned, and cannot properly nourish the system.
 Ill health sets in. You may lose your strength and vitality; or you , may have rheumatic pains Tn, the muscles and joints; or you may be troubled with bad boils, sores or some other skin eruptions. All because of the poisonous waste products in the blood. Nature now needs help. She has done her best
