Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
<.<>sSA
Drink a glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poIsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
well. sleep WE'LL look well. What a
gorious 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, split
ting headach. stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluiccs of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspOonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous day S indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, swcetcning and purifying the en-
tire almentary canal before putting
more food into the stomach. The action
of hot water and limestone phosphate
on an empty stomach is wonderfully in-
vigurating. 1t cleans out all the sour
fermentations, gases, waste and aeidity
and gives one splendid appetite for
breakfast. While. you are enjoying your
breakfast the water and phosphate is
quietly extracting a large volume of
water from the blood and getting ready
for thorough flushing of all the in
side organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; Others
who have sallow skins, blood disorders
and sickly compilations are urged to
get quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate from the drug store which will
cost very little, but is sufficient to
make anyone a pronounced crank on
the subject of internal sanitation.
