There is a best time for doing everything—tbat ig, a time when a thing can be done to the best ad­vantage, most easily and most ef­fectively. Now is the best time for purifying your blood. Why? Because your system is now trying to purify it—you know this by the pimples and other eruptions that bare come on your face and body.
