If you wake up with bad taste,
bad breath and tongue is coated; if
your head is dull or aching; if what
you eat sours and forms gas and acid
in stomach, or you are bilious, consti-

real hot water with teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, This will
flush the poisons and toxins from stom

cleanse, sweoten and purify the entire
alimentary tract. Do your inside baTn-
ing immediately upon arising in the
morning to wash out of the system all

To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood nerves and

Just as soap and hot water act on

her off they were seventeen blocks past
