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 ma
terial, which if not completely eIimin-
ated from the system each day. be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste, toxins and
ptOmain-lilke 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 a glass of real hot wat
er with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out the thirty
fet of bowels the previous days ac-
emulation of poisons and toxins and
to KEEP the entire alimentary canal
clean. pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick
headache. colds. biliousness, constipa-
ton. others who wake up with bad
taste, foul breath, backache. rheuma-
tic stiffness, or have a sour. gassy
stomach after meals. are urged to get
quarter round of limestone Dhos-
phate from the drug store. and begin
pra cticing internal sanitation. This
viii cost very little. but is sufficient 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 howell pores do.

THE Value OF truth

Truth in business is just as important
as truth in everyday life; truth creates
confidence, establishes goodwill and
builds a reliability that will not be
wrecked by the storms of competition.
Through three generations people
have learned to place reliance on the
advertised words of SCOTS Emulsion,
because they. are untarnished, unex-
aggerated truiSms about a household
remedy of real and actual worth.
The popularity of SCOTS Emulsion
is increasing as intelligence advances,
because in these days of authorizations
1t continues to guarantee pure cod liver oil
incidentally perfected with glycerine and
hypophosphites to build strength, i'm

members only, and farm lands will be
accepted as security.
