A Bad Skin Boils. Pimples. Impure Blood. Boils are simply very largo pimpleg. The trouble is not in the skin, but down deep in the blood. You cannot have a good, smooth skin unless it is nourished by pure blood; and the only way to make your blood pure is to take a strong blood-purifying medicine. Mr. F. Ellian, of 370 Rae Street, North Fitzroy, Victoria, sends us this letter and his photograph: " I had a mo3t frightful attack of boils ana pimples breaking out ail over my body. I had beard so much about AVER'S I thought I would give it a trial.
