Glass of Hot Water
 Before Breakfast a Splendid Habit
Open siuIces of the system each morning and wash away the
 poisonous, stasnant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; splitting headache. stuffy from cold, foul tongue nasty breath, acid stom- ach, lame back can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning.
 We should drink, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach liver kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous days indigestible waste sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans ing, sweetening and purifying the en- tire ailmentaIy tract before putting more food into the stomach.
 The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and it is said to be but a little while until the roses begin to appear in the cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store; but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with bilious ness, constipation, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthusiast on the subject of internal sanitation. Try it and you are assured that you will look better and feel better in every way shortly.
