Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass Of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out polsons.

Life is not merely to live, but TO live
well, eat well, digest well, work well
sleep well, look well. What a glorious
condition to attain, and yet how very
easy it is if one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel dull
and heavy when they arise, splitting
headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue,
nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead,
feel as fresh as daisy by opening the
sluices of the system each morning and
flushing out the whole of the internal
poisonous stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well,
should. each morning, before breakfast,
drink a glass of real hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it to wash from the stomach, liver, kid
neys and bowels the previous days in
digestible waste, sour bile and poisonous
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal be-
fore putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is won
derfully invigorating, 1t cleans out all
the sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one splendid appe-
tite for breakfast. While YOU are en-
joying your breakfast the water and phos-
pate is quietly extracting large volume
of water from the blood and getting
ready for thorough flushing of all the
inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble rhnumatism, others
who have sallow skins, blood disorders
and sickly compilations are urged to get
a quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store, which will cost very
little, but is sufficient to make anyone a
pronounced crank on the subject of in
ternal sanitation,-Adv.
