Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liv-

fore breakfast.

to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa-

colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom.
ach, you must bathe on the inside like
you bathe outside. This is vastly
more important, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, while the bowel pores do,
says well-known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
we'll flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, glass of hot wa.
ter with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen.
tary tract, before putting more food
into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your druggist or at
the store. 1t is inexpensive and al.
most tasteless, except sourish,
tinge which is not unpleasant. Drink
phosphated hot water every morning
to rid your system of these vile poi1
sons and toxins; also to prevent their
formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an ac-
emulation of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all, keep it up!
AS soap and hot water act on the skim
cleansing, sweetening and purifying,
so limestone phosphate and hot water
before breakfast, act on the stomach
