DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom i'll.

II you are accustomed to wake up
with a coated tongue, foul breath or
a dull, dizzy headache; or, If your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have real surprise await
ing you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately
upon arising, drink glass OF hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This is intended to
first neutralize and then wash out Of
your stomach, liver, kidneys and
thirty feet of intestines all the indi-
gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal.
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form of stomach trouble, are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning in
side-bath. 1t is said that men and
women who try this become enthu-
siastic and keep it up daily. 1t is a
splendid health measure for it is more
important to keep clean and pure on
the inside than on the outside, because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing disease,
while the bowel pores do.
The principle of bathing inside is
not new, asmillions of people practice
it, Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos-
phate is an inexpensive white powder
and almost tasteless.
