Second, make sure there i8 no eon- stipation; indeed, even if everything seems normal it wouldn't hurt to take a tablespoonful of white min- eral oil a day for awhile. Third, take a daily hot bath. This will cieanse the pores all over the body. leaving them all free to act, and <o relieving any possible strain on any one set of them. Fourth, use either blackhead cleans- ling powder, which will absorb the coilected matter that has enlarged the pores originally, or any very good astringent.
