Quick and Lasting
Cure for Pimples
A Remedy Which Has .Met With As-
tounding Success in Curing
Tills Disease
Ache, or pimples, is an. eruption
very frequently seen upon the faces
of young people in their teens, al
though it may occur earlier or later
than this period, In fact at almost
any age.
This disease exhibits itself in tho
form of unsightly papules and pus
tules, commonly called pimples.
Comedones, or blackheads, is often
complicated with this disease, and
add considerably to the unsightliness
of the face afflicted with them.
Sometimes there ate only a few
irregularly Bltuated pimples on tho
Cheeks, forehead or chin, while in
other cases, where (he- blood becomes
literally peppered with them, giving
the countenance a1 most repulsive
appearance, and exciting much un
favorable and derogatory comment
and criticism by people on the streets
and elsewhere.
Pimples are caused, secondarily,
by an inflammation of the sebaceous
glands and pores, while the primary,
or underlying cause, is undoubtedly
a depraved, morbid condition of tho
blood, and is a sure indication that
the latter Is filled with all sorts of
impurities which should be eliminat
ed from the system.
The purchase and application or
salves, ointments, jellies, cold
creams, etc., is a waste of time and
money, for a blood disease cannot bo
Lcured by applying a mediciment to
the skin.
All persons who suffer from pim
ples, boils, carbuncles, eczema, skin
blotches, ulcers, scrofula, scurvy, and
all other skin diseases arising from
an impure and Impoverished condi
tion of the blood, should use STU
ART'S CALCIUM WAFERS, a rem
edy, the chief ingredient of which Is
calcium sulphide, the most powerful
alterative and blood cleanser and
purifier in existence;
Many persons, after trying all
sorts of remedies, local and general,
have finally used these wafers, and
linvft hoon mmnlfiffllv mired Of pittl-
ples, boils, and any other skin and
blood diseases from which they were
suffering. ,
In the treatment and healing or
old. ulcers which have long resisted
every other form of treatment, Stu
art's Calcium Wafers have been pre
eminently successful, while in om
running sores, and pimply humors
of the scalp with premature loss 01
hair, they have metwith equal suc
cess. Purchase a 50c box from your
