Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
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 morn
ing for one week.
Before breakfast each day. drink
a glass of real hot water with
taspoonful of limestone phosphate in
il as a harmless means of washing
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing. sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach
The action of hot water and lime
stone phosphate on an empty stom-
ach is wonderfully invigorating. 1t
cleans out all the sour fermentations'
gases and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast.
A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate will cost very little at the
drug store but is sufficient to dem
onstrate that just as soap and hot
water cleanses sweetens and fresh
ems the skin. so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the blood and
internal organs. Those who are sub
jcct to constipation, bilious attacks

so those whose skin is sallow and
complexion pallid. are assured that

This drug is sticky but dries at

the corn without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue.
1t is claimed that quarter of an
ounce obtained at any drug store VIII
