To look ones best and feel ones
best is to enjoy IN inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous days waste, sour fermenta-
lions and poisonous toxins before it is
absorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind a certain
amount of incombustible material in
the form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ali
mentary organs a certain amount OF
indigestible material, which if not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only n~ourishment to
sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow OF
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate
in it, which is a harmless means OF
washing the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract

Girls and women with sallow skins,

coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath,
others who are bothered with head
aches, bilious spells, acid stomach or

plated hot water drinking and are as
sured of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that. just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifes and freshens the skin
on the outside, so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the inside or
gans. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more i'm
portant than outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.
