Hopes Women Will
Adopt This Habit
As Well As Men
Glass of hot water each morn.
Ing helps US look and feel
clean, sweet, fresh.

Happy, bright, alert-vigorous and
vivacious-a good clear skin; nat
u"al, rosy complexion and freedom
from illness are assured only by
clean, healthy blood. If only every
woman and likewise every man could
realize the wonders of the morning
il side bath, what gratifying change
would take place.
Instead of the thous ands of sickly,
,anaemic- looking men, women and
girls with pasty or muddy complex
Iicns; instead of the multitudes of
"nerve wreck" "rundowns," "brain
fags" and pessimists we should see a
Ivirile, optimistic throng of rosy
checked people everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking,
each morning before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver, kid
neys and ten yards OF bowels the pre-
vious days indigestible waste, sour
ifermentations and poisons, thus cleans
ing, sweetening and freshening the en-
tire alimentary canal before putting
more food into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache, bill
iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism
colds; and particularly those VIII have
a pallid, sallow complexion and who
are constipated very often, are urged
tc obtain quarter-p -poGnd of limestone
phosphate at the drug store, which
will cost but trifle, but is sufficient
to demonstrate the quick and re-
markable change ,in both health and
appearance awaiting those who prac-
tlce internal sanitation. We must re-
member that inside cleanliness is more
important than outside, because the
skin does not absorb impurities to
lcontaminate the blood, while the pores
in the thirty feet of bowels do.
