DON’T BUY COMPLEXION, EAT IT, CHEMISTS SAY 
The home garden is no friend of the beauty specialist where complexion is concerned, 
scientists tell us, because the properly balanced diet containing vitamin and mineral 
fresh vegetables will give nature its chance to do what was intended, bring health to the 
body, and with it, a good complexion. 
Vegetables are not the only foods to produce such results, of course, but they are the 
“deficiency’’ types which supply the hidden food element slacking in so many other 
modern table deficiencies. The fact that they are grown at home and can be used fresh 
from the garden without the loss brought about by being kept out of the ground, makes 
them doubly valuable for the health and complexion seeker.
