PROTECT YOUR HEALTH Stories Dealing With Care Os The Body And Treatment Os Diseases (By Benj. F. Beavers, M. D.)

What Are Pimples? Quite ii number of people are troubled with the formation of pimples (specially upon the face and back. They are often large, red, painful, and frequently "come to a head," that is form pus. There are many peculiar ideas about this trouble —one of them is that they are caused by bad habits. Very often have I heard some boy point to another boy who had these upon his face, and accuse him of having bad habits. Most likely the accuser was more guilty than the accused, for they are not the result of any bad habit. Then there is the belief that they are due to "bad blood." This idea is a very common one, and people who have this trouble usually take one "blood medicine” after another, only to find that they all fail. What then are pimples? People who have them usually have a very moist face, That is their faces are not dry as are the faces of most people without the affliction. This moisture is due to the oil glands of the skin, and such persons have very active oil glands. A pimple is due to the plugging up of the opening of an oil gland, that is it starts as a “black head,” for a “black head" is

nothing more or less than a plug in the opening of an oil gland. Os course after such a thing happens the oil of the gland can not get out,, so the gland swells and a little lump is formed upon the skin. Ap time goes on, this may become infected —that is bacteria start to grow in the plug and then in the gland—there is then reddishness, pain and pus. The treatment of pimples then could not, consist of the taking of medicines for the blood, for the blood is in no way to blame. Neither are pimple gotten rid of by smearing any oily or pasty substance on the skin. Such pastes and oils only aid in making the condition worse, by helping to stop up the openings of the glands. People who use such things for their faces should first of all read an article on the subject in the November number of “Hygeia.” This magazine is in the Decatur Public Library, and is published by the American Medical Association, its purpose is to explain m tdical things to the public. To treat pimples properly some substance must be used which will not only act as an antiseptic, but which will open up the outlet of the glands of the face as well, and not aid in plugging them up.
