If loon MM ISN’T ACTING RIGHT BEGIN MG SALTS Pimples, sores njid bolls usually result from toxins, poisons .and Impurities which are generated in the bowels and then absorbed into the blood through the very ducts which should absorb only nourishment to sustain the body. It is the function of the kidneys 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 sk;n pores as the next best means of getting rid of these Impurities, which often break out all over the 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 .Tad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water each morning before breakfast lor one week. This will help prevent the formation of toxins in the bowels. It also stimulates the kidneys, thus coaxing them to filter the blood of impurities and clearing the skin of pimples. Jad Salts Is Inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lilhia. Here you have a pleasant. effervescent drink which usually helps make pirn pies disappear.—-Advert isomen t.
