says glass of hot water wlth phosphate before brsakfast
 washes out poIsons.

To see the tinge of healthy bloom in your face, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, to wake up with out a headache. backache, coated tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to feel your best, day in and day out, Just try inside-bathing every morning TOT one week.
 Before breakfast each day, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoon full of limestone phosphate in 1t as a hsrmless means of washing from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days indigesttble waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alfmentary canal before putting more good into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate OF an empty stomach Is wonderfully in- yigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for break fast.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate will cost very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phos- phate act on the blood and internal or gans. Those who are subject to con- stipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach. rheumatic twinges, also those whose skin is sallow and complexion pallid, are assured that one week of inside bathing will have them both looking and feeling better in every way.
