TRUE BEAUTY FROM WITHIN

Beautiful Skin, Outward Sign of Inward Health, Depends Most of All on Perfect Digestion. True beauty comes from within, inKtead of from without. A healthy skin is the outward sign and the natural result of inward health. A muddy or dingy skin is evidence of the presence of poisons—poisons that are more than skin deep. It means the accumulation of tissue wastes and particles of wornout material lying about the cells of the body, clogging the tissues, interfering with all the functions of the skin, clogging the brain, paralyzing the nerve centers and enervating the bodily energies. A dingy skin cannot be cured by external applications. Cosmetics may conceal the evidence of external grlmIness, but the grimlness itself must be got rid of by a simple and pure diet. e A natural diet of fruits, grain and nuts is most conducive to a clear, healthful and beautiful complexion. Chepse, oysters, sausage, rich pastries, condiments and foods of this kind conduce to the production of hollow cheeks, dark-circled eyes and a leathery skin, which no cosmetics, baths or external applications .of any sort can remedy. Clean living is required to produce a clear skin—one that is clean all the way through, and transparent enough to let the bright, pure blood coursing in the arteries beneath shine through, thus producing the bloom of health. A beautiful skin depends most of all upon perfect digestion. The processes of digestion have a direct bearing upon the color of the cheeks, which usually show pretty well whether a woman is enjoying good health and is free from digestive disorders.
