Black opals are dear. not only be-

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

why is man and woman, half the time
feeling nervous, respondent, worried
some days headschy, dull and unstrung
some days really incapacitated by illness.
If we all would practice inside bathing,
what gratifying change would take
place. Instead of thousands OF half sick,
anamic-looking souls with pasty, muddy
compilations, we should see crowds Of
happy healthy, rosy-cheeked people ev-
erywhere. The reason is that the human
| system does not rid itself each day of all
the waste which it accumulates under
our present mode of living. For every
ounce of food and drink taken into the
system, nearly an ounce of waste mate
rial must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons, which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean the
ashes from the furnace each day, before
the fire will burn bright and hot, so we
must each morning clear the inside or
gans OF the previous days accumulation
of indigestible waste and body toxins.
Men and women, whether sick or well,
are advised to drink each morning, be-
fore breakfast, glass of real hot water
with teaspoonful of limestone phos
phate in it, as harmless means of wash
ing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels the indigestible material,
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their turn
at constipation, bilious attacks, acid
stomach, nervous days and sleepless
nights have become real cranks about the |
inside bath. A quarter pound |
of limestone phosphate win not cost
much at the drug store, but is sufficient |
to demonstrate to anyone its cleansing |
