shown in Eczema Acne Tetter Salt Rheum or some other distressing disfiguring skin disease Humors and impurities get into the blood through a deranged or inactive condition of the system Those members whose duty it is to collect and expel the refuse matter of the system fail to properly do tneir work and this surplus or waste matter is left in the system to sour and be absorbed into the blood 1 he cause of all skin diseases can be traced to some humor or acid in the blood Smooth healthy skins are only possible where 'he circulation is pure and therefore the cure of any skin affection can only come from a thorough cleansing of this vital fluid Salves washes lotions etc are vaulahle only for their ability to keep the clean allay superficial irritation or soften the hardened cuticle Such treatment cannot cure because it does not reach the blood where the cause is located and to depend upon such measures alone usually results in the aggravation and spreading of any skin trouble cures
