The Century of Lotions

We have had our ages of stone and of bronze, and eo bn through increasingly improved grades of mechanical genius, and now,when people ought to have something approaching an intelligent acquaintance with the phenomena of their own bodies in health and disease, we are at the end of the century of lotions. Some dyspeptic people have disfiguring blotches and pimples on the face, actually resultant from an hereditary blood taint or a partial blood poison. What else do they expect? At anyrate they attempt to destroy the skin disease by the use of lotions and cosmetics, and alleged ‘beautifiers,’ and as these block the pores of the skin,the result is precisely the same as in the case of the man who shut his flood-gates to relieve a collapsing dam. Obviously the one sensible and reflective way of curing a disease resulting from blood impurities is to directiy correct the cause, and this Warner’s Safe Cure does. Skin dUoise U not really a disease, but

merely a symptom of one. While you are foolishly wasting time with local applications which would have just as much effect if applied to a brick wall, a disorganised stomach is calling for assistance, or the poisoned kidneys are crying out for Warner’s Safe Cure. The true method of treatment tn order to secure a beautiful, clear, and transparent skin, is to keep tbe natuial channels, or sewers, of tbe system which carry off the waste products perfectly free from stagnation. The natural channel for the escape of the waste and effete products, is through the kidneys,and the only goaran'.ee of freedom from erup tions upon the skin ia to maintain healthy action of these organs. Nature will accomplish what artificial means always fail to do. Nature has her own method and her own way of doing things. Therefore do not attempt to improve upon her methods. Keep the kidneys free from the poisons which taint the blood and.produce blotches, boils, pimples, and blemishes. Use Warner’s Safe Cure freely upon the first indication of any roughness of the skin, and we will guarantee that tbe complexion will soon be restored to a perfect condition.
