 CARBOHYDRATES AND ACNE
 I believe most acne would be pre- vented if the young person () geA sufficient exposure to sunshine or skyshine the year around, l1) avoids soap and other 1rTitantS, and (3) uses only oil for cleaning the skin of face.
 Finest skin oil I can recommend is teel or til oil, benne oil, sesame oil Git is known by all these names)s which seems to remain oily and rarely or never clogs the orifices oG the Sebaceous ducts, the pores, as many nostrums do although they prport to ''beautify." Not only Tor young persons to use instead or drying and irritating soaps ana creams for the face, but for daily application to the old skin too. plain sesame oil or benzoinateo sesame oil, if your druggist knows how to prepare 1t, Is a skin care aid that has been highly praised by many users.
 Do not misunderstand-I recom- mend this skin oil not as a remedy for acne, but only as a preventive and as a fine cosmetic agent to i keep any skin clean, smooth, soft and clear.
 The treatment of acne is given in a pamphlet "Acne" available on request if you send a stamped en" velope bearing your address. A clip-- bling of this item is not request.
 There have been several favor able reports in the medical jour" nals recently on the favorable eff fects of vitamin A treatment of chronic indurated acne. Patients take two 25,000 unit capsules (total of 5O,0OO units) with or after break fast and with or after dinner every day for several months. do not believe this is so effective for the acne of young persons. It is espec- ially helpful for the non-suppura- tive, hard popular type of acne or skin rash in older adults, and for nutmeg grater,' alligator hide" excessively dry and "dirty' looking skin, of which many women con- plain.
 I hope what I have said here about the relation of excessive con- sumption or refined carbohydrate to acne will not be interpreted as a ban against 8 reasonable amount of candy, sweets, ice cream, sweet ened beverages, cake, pie, cookies etc., for the young ones. Remem- Der, I deplore only the excessive intake of cheat food pure starch or sugar without the minerals and vitamins that grew with it and were intended by nature for adequate nutrition. If the ordinary everyday diet of the young person, yes and the old one, were made up wholly or even in the main of natural, un- denaturized foods, probably very little of these cheat-foods would be desired by the average individual. In fact 1t is a common experience of people who for one purpose or another follow a restricted diet which is properly supplemented with adequate rationS of vitamins, to discover presently that they no Ions ger crave or want as much cheat food as they have been accustomed to taking. That is practical illus tration of what satisfying hidden hunger means.
