Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible mate
rial, which if not completely eliminat-
ed from the system each day, becomes
food for the millions of bacteria which
infest the bowels. From this mass of
leftover waste, toxins and ptomaine-
like poisons are formed and sucked
into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel,
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink glass of real hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous days
accumulation of poisons and toxins
and to keep the entire alimentary
canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject 20 sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have sour, gassy stomach
after meals. are urged to get quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
any druggist or storekeeper, and be-
gin practicing internal sanitation.
This will cost very little, but is sufi-
cient to make anyone an enthusiast
on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin, so
hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the stomach, liver kidneys and

fact that more than two thousand

through this waterway since it was
opened in the summer of 1914, each
of these vessels saving something like
seventy miles of travel and avoiding
the dangerous route around Cape Cod.
