The Way to Cure
All Skin Diseases
Tho Prescription is Simple': Purify
the' Blood by Using Stuart's Cal
cium Wafers and tho
Rest is Easy
If people only realized the utter
absurdity of attemntinc to cure a
pimply, blotchy, unsightly complex
ion by means of the many irrational
and illogical methods employed in
"beauty parlors," and also in the
boudoir, thousands of dollars which
are wasted every year literally
thrown away would be saved, and
the complexion rendered clear and
.free, from blemishes through consti
tutional treatment, at about one
tenth of one per cent of the cost of
the "fancy" and exceedingly .expen
sive local "treatments."
The idea of massaging the cheeks,
and attempting to rub in a so-called
."skin-food,? is the height of non
sense. Nature never intended the
skin to be fed from the outside, but
from the inside exclusively, and it is
the blood which really feeds the skin,
builds it up, and supplies, it with
.nutrimejnt absorbed from the diges
ts .tj-m, sjjstqm. There, is .really no such
thing as' .a "skin-food any more
, than there is a "heart-food," or
"lung-food," or a "brain-food."
The skin is a water-proof, air
proof envelope over the muscular
- system, and it has no power to ab
sorb cold creams, or any other medi
caments when rubbed over its sur
' face. While, of course, steaming the
fac'e,' or massaging with electricity,
or by hand, will draw the blood tem
porarily to the surface and produce
ah artificial glow, which may last
h'n.lf an hour or so. but such treat
ment brings no lasting benefit, and
will never cure wrinKies, pimpiea,
postules, blackheads, or other facial
blemishes.
Besides, the frequent treatment of
the skin' in the way which "beauty
doctors" have those kneading, rub
bing, "cooking" methods, making the

desirable effect of increasing and
strengthening the hair-growth on the
The only logical treatment in ac
quiring and maintaining a perfect
complexion, devoid of all blemishes,
such as blotches, pimples, roughness,
chapping, scaly patches, etc., is to
go after these troubles from the in
side to strike at the foundation,
the origin of the complaints --and
that means, in other words, to thor
oughly purify the Jlood, by using
STUART'S CAL.U1UM wvsujxiJ.
These powerful little wafers as
goon as taken into the system exert
their wonderful, blood-purifying ef
fects, and they never let up for a
moment, until every atom of impur
ity in the blood is eliminated, and,
in addition to that, they also build
up the blood, and strongmen m u
culation through the skin's surface,
and thus render wrinkles and skin
blemishes impossible of existence.

meat requires six tablespoonfuls of
powdered sage, two tablespoonfuls of
black pepper, ono teaspoonful of
three tablespoonfuls of salt. The
meat and seasonings must bo thor

the sausage meat is two-thirds lean

"Crackling Corn Bread" Ono
quart of corn meal, one teaspoonful
of salt, half a cupful of cracklings.
The cracklings should bo softened
with a very little hot water, or by
steaming for a few minutes. Mix all

make a dough that can bo made into
"pones" with the hands by tossing
into shape, then flattened tho pones
should bo about the size of large bis

if wished. Lay these pones in a well
greased baking pan, and bake in a
very hot oven until done. These aro

off all tho juice; put tho tomatoes
in a sauco pan with two tablespoon

stew not more than ten minutes, then
put them in a taking dish with a
teacupful of finely grated bread
crumbs and a tablespoonful of but
ter. Cover tho top thickly with
bread crumbs and dot with bits of
butter; bake a light brown.
