to flush from the system the previous

poisonous toxins before it is absorbed
into the blood. Just as coal, when II

of incombustible material in the form OF
ashes, so the food and drink taken each
day, leave In the alimentary organs a
certain amount of indigestible material.

blood through the very ducts which are
intended to suck in only nourlshment to
sustain the body.
II you want to see the glow of healthy

get clearer and clearer you are told to
drink every morning upon arising a
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate In II, which is a
harmless means of washing the waste
