V Pimples, sores and boils 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 kid neys to filter impurities from the blood and cast: them out In the form' of urine, but in many in stances the bowels create more toxins and Impurities than the kidneys can eliminate; , then the blood uses the skin iores as the next best means of getting rid of these impurities, which often break out air over the skin in the form of pimples, j - 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 water each morn ing before breakfast for one week. This will help prevent the-formation of toxins in the bowels. It also stimulates the kidneys, thus coaxing them fb filter the blood of impurities j and clearing the skin" of. pimples.
