after, an Inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system
the previous days waste, sour fer
mentations and poisonous toxins be-
fore it is obsorbed into the blood.
Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of
ashes, so the food and drink taken
each day leave in the alimentary
organs a certain amount of indiges-
tible material, which if not e.imi-
mated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the
blood through the very ducts which
are intended to suck in only nour-
ishment to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to
see your skin get clearer, and
clearer, you are told to drink every
morning upon arising, a glass OF
hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, which is
a harmless means of washings the
waste material and toxins from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels,
thus cleansing, sweetening and puri-
flying the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the
stomach.
Men and women with sallow skin,
liver spots, pinlples or pallid COM
plexion, also those who wake up
with a coated tongue, bad taste,
nasty brea.h, others who are bother
ed with headaches, bilious spells,
acid stomach or constipation should
begin this phosphated hot water
drinking and are assured of very
pronounced results in one or two
weeks.
