Out modern medicine liai dewonstrated that rich food doeauot create crop tlous by fouliug the blood, but retards tlgstlou which makes the stomach torpid, and tho clrcu lutlou sluggish, ami in turn causes au uiifeoblac action of tbo liores which tougost or become pim I ply. Tho modern theory therefore is not to treat the blood, but tho stomach and liver, aud Itii I tfuUer this new idea, that Joy's Vegetable Hawa ! parillu was conceived. It bus wiped oat the I blood dlseaio" theory of pimples, of the old tar ! Enparillai. A case tu point " I have had for yea ! spoils of iudlgestiou aud dysiwpsut anil tried j ueorly everything. Finally I took oue of the i leading sarsaparlllas. It did not help ins, but ! caused pimples to break out on my face, which 1 ' was told was caused by tbf potauli it cuutaiued. Hearing that Joy's Vegetable siarsaparllla aia not contain mineral aud might act UlnVrenlly, I sent for It.
