An Inside Bath
Makes You Look
and Feel Fresh
Says a glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps illness away.
This excellent, common-sense
health measure being
7W adopted by millions.

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this Is
OF vastly more Importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing i'll health, while the
pores in the ten yards OF bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning. before breakfast a
glass of hot water with teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach. liver. kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and tox-
ms; thus cleansing. sweetenlng and
purifying the entire alimentary canal
before putting more food into the
stomach
Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin, so hot water
and limestone phosphate act on the
eliminative organs.
These who wake up with bad breath
coated tongue, nasty taste or have a
dull aching head, sallow complexion,
acid stomach; others who are subject
to bilious attacks or constipation,
should obtain a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate at the drug store.
This will cost very little but is sufii-
cient to demonstrate the value of in
side bathing. Those who continue it
each morning are assured of pro-
nounced results, both in regard to
health and appearance.
