A BEAUTIFUL SKIN The Result of Simple Cleansing.
How envied the possessor of a lovely skin is by others less for lunafel, But so many neglect the Arat essential brauly, which is Internal cleanliness. Of course, keep the skin clean outwardly, but thin is not enough; inward cleanliness is the real basis of all complexion care.
The process of elimination carries away the poisonous waste matter which gathers in the intestines, and If this is not regular the whole body becomes weakened. Skin trouble, digestive disturbances, billoumess, sick headaches, livertaliness follow.
To ensure dally regularity there la nothing better than an occasional dose of Pinkettes, dainty laxative pils which assist nature in a normal way. No griping or purging when Pinkettes are used. Try them your- self, the feeling of well-being which follows will more than pleasë you.
Pinkeltes dispet constipation, cor- rect liverlshness, prevent unpleasant breath, banish blousness, nid diges- tion, relieve piles. Of all chemists.
