A commission at St. Paul will en deavor to raise a fund of $25,000 Contrary to general opinion tho acquiring and maintaining of a per fectly clear and faultless complexion does not depend upon the application of local treatment. There are many persons who spend small fortunes visiting "beauty specialists" and hav ing their faces massaged with per fumed, pink-colored cold creams, or with electrical vibrations, hoping by these methods to get rid of wrinkles and various skin blemishes. Others spend much of their time steaming their cheeks with super heated vapor, which promotes a .rapid, and heavy perspiration, and for the time being relieves the pores, of any foreign matter which may be clog ging them. But tho groat trouble with such treatments is that they achieve no permanent benefit, and whatever good they may accomplish is only momentary. The reason is obvious. The trouble is constitutional instead of being local, and for that reason, general, rather than topical treatment, is nat urally required. No one, would think of trying to cleanse the sewerage system of a city by merely cleaning the external openings of a few of tho sowers, and allowing the rest of the aqueduct to remain untouched. The whole system needs to be flushed and purified. The pores may be aptly .termed the sewerage system of the body, which throws off one-flfth of its impurities through them; and if, for any rea son, those " little pores become stopped up, or the other eliminating organs which dispose of the remain ing four-fifths of the waste material, partially fail in their work of elimin ation, then the inevitable pimples, blackheads, liver spots, etc., appear upon the face, thereby serving no tice to the owner of that face that something is wrongs within; some thing is interfering with the work of destroying and throwing off tho effete matter from the blood, which has consequently become loaded with impurities. The foolish practice of attempting to cure a blotchy, or otherwise faulty complexion, by the use of local means, should be given up at once, and a more rational treatment sub stituted that of purifying the blood and cleansing tho body's sewerage system,: by using STUART'S CAL CIUM WAFERS. Many persons who have been try ing to gain a perfect coiuploxion and to rid themselves of pimples and other facial blemishes, through local means, have given up this folly, and by the regular use of Stuart's Cal cium Wafers the great blood-aud-skin remedy havo not only succeed ed in purifying their blood, getting rid of pimples, etc., but have also established a healthy circulation through the skin, which had the effect of removing wrinkles.
