Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
0ays we can't look or feel right with the system full
 os poisnns.

Millions of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. Whats an inside bath ?'' you say. We'll, it is guaranteed to perform miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts.
 There are vast numbers of men and women who. immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with teaspoonfm of lime stone phosphate in it. This is very excellent health measure. It is in- tended to flush the stomach: liver. kid neys and the thirty feet of intestines and indtgestibfe material left over in the body which if not eliminated every day, become food for the millions of bacteria, which infest the bowels, the quick result is pofsons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bilious attacks. foul breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trou- ble kidney misery, sleepIessness, inn pure blood and all sorts of ailments.
 People who feel good one day and badly the next. but who simply can not get feeling right, are urged to obtain g. quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to ject of internal sanitation.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. It is vastly more important to bathe on the inside than on the outside because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do.
