RECIPE TO CLEAR
A PIMPLY SKIN
Pimples Are Imparities Seeking An
Outlet Through Skin
Pores
Pimples, sores and boils usually re
suit from toxins, poisons and impuri
ties which are generated in the bowels
and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should ab
sorb only nourishment to sustain the
body. _
it is the function of the kidney* 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 tlie 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
tablespoon ful in a glass of hot water
each morning before breakfast for oue
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.
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 dis
appear; cleanses the blood and is ex
cellent for the kidneys as well.—Adv.
