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

Life is rot merely to live, but to
live well. eat well, digest well, work
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious 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 headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nRnt matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass OF real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing. sweetenlng and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach. The ac-
ton of hot water and limestone phos.
phate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one splendid APP
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting large
volume Of water from the blood and
getting ready for a thorough flushing
of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism others
who have sallow skins, blood disor.

to get quarter pound Of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone a pro-
